What soil is suitable for growing hibiscus?

Soil for Hibiscus

Hibiscus likes alkaline soil or neutral soil. The plant requires the soil to be fertile, loose and breathable. It cannot use slightly acidic soil. In short, it is usually maintained with leaf mold, perlite and base fertilizer.

Hibiscus can be grown in nutrient soil. Because the plant has a strong adaptability to soil, nutrient soil can meet the growth requirements of hibiscus and the requirements for soil quality are not high.

Hibiscus soil preparation method

Hibiscus does not have very high requirements for soil. You can usually use leaf mold, perlite, and base fertilizer in a ratio of 4:1:1. Note that no fertilizer is needed for a period of time after planting.

Changing the soil for hibiscus potting plants

1. Cut off water and remove the pot: Before changing the soil for hibiscus, you need to cut off water for a few days. This will help separate the soil from the pot. Be sure to take the soil with you when removing the pot.

2. Prepare new soil: New soil needs to be prepared in advance. If you want the plants to grow better, you can use humus, perlite, and coarse sand to prepare it.

3. Re-pot: If the hibiscus is growing vigorously, you need to change to a larger pot, then add soil to the bottom of the pot and carefully place the plant in the center of the pot.
