    How to care for Hibiscus

    Light. Full sun gives the most flowers.

    Water. Keep the roots moist, in soil that drains well.

    Soil and feeding. It prefers rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.

    Size. Grows to about 6 ft. Hibiscus trained as trees can grow much taller.

    Pruning. Cut back by about half in early spring for a compact shape. Flowers form on new growth.

    Problems to watch. Aphids, whiteflies and mealybugs leave sooty mold; spray Insecticidal Soap. Never use malathion on hibiscus. Buds that drop with holes point to bud weevils; collect and destroy fallen buds.

    Good to know. A light cold snap can yellow and drop lower leaves.
