Hibiscus

  Q    
I have a pot plant of Hibiscus rosa-sinen, can you tell me how to look after it, please?
       
  A    

This is a shrubby variety of Hibiscus, and is best stood outside for the summer in a sunny sheltered position.

 

Keep it well watered.

 

Feed each week with a liquid fertiliser, from April to August.

 

Return the plant indoors in September for the winter, keep it in good light in a cool room.

 

Each spring; repot the plant in fresh potting compost and lightly trim back the growths.
