If you want to enjoy hibiscus and its magnificent flowers for a long time, you have to water your plants well. Garden marshmallow (rose marshmallow) and indoor hibiscus need a lot of water, but do not like waterlogging. It's all about the right relationship.
garden marshmallow
In the case of prolonged drought, the flowers of the garden marshmallow quickly drop, including the unopened ones. Therefore, the hibiscus should be watered regularly, especially in midsummer, preferably in the morning and with stale rainwater.
Regular watering is also necessary after replanting or transplanting a hibiscus bush. Nevertheless, the hibiscus is very sensitive to waterlogging. To prevent the roots of the shrub from rotting, you should always let the soil dry out between watering.
Chinese hibiscus
The Chinese hibiscus is mostly kept indoors as a potted plant. During the growing season, the hibiscus needs regular watering. During the rest period, only enough water is poured so that the bale does not dry out.
To avoid waterlogging, always pour off excess water from the cachepot or saucer. If the room hibiscus is watered sufficiently, it tolerates the proximity to the heating well.
