Tropical Hibiscus

Common name:

Light:
Full sun

Water:
Moderate

Origins:
Asia and the pacific Islands






Hibiscus flower.Such a pretty red!




Topical Hibiscus Is a bushy plant. It has thick dark green leaves. This plant likes light so it will need some direct sun. I have mine in an Eastern window and flowers year around. Does good in a Western window as well. Let it dry out some before watering again but don't let it go bone dry. The leaves will kind of droop and won't feel as think when it's in need of a drink. The flowers are big and ahve 5 petals and has a long pistol that comes out the center. The flowers come in a variety of colors. Usually bright colors. If taken care of right it will flower year around. It is a tropical so it does'nt like cold so keep away from drafts. Any questions just ask.
