How often should I water hibiscus?

Hibiscus is generally not very short of water in spring and autumn. Generally, it can be watered once every 10 to 15 days during this period. If it is summer, the temperature is very high, so it generally needs more watering to prevent it from being sunburned. It can be watered once every 5 days.

However, winter is not conducive to the growth of hibiscus, so its demand for water is relatively small, and it may not even need watering. In addition, you can generally use tap water, rice water or magnetized water when watering.

How to water hibiscus

1. Don’t water the flowers: Generally, when watering most plants, you should not water the flowers. This will easily cause the flowers to wither in a few days, so avoid the flowers when watering.

2. Water according to the temperature: Generally, hibiscus likes a warm environment, so when caring for it, you can choose a place with a relatively high temperature, so that you can water it more and it will not cause water accumulation at the roots.

Precautions for watering hibiscus

1. Don’t water too much: Although hibiscus likes a humid environment, too much watering will affect its flowering effect, so it is best to water it according to the principle of not watering unless the environment is dry.

2. Do not water the flowers: Most plants cannot have water droplets on their flowers for a long time, because this may cause the flowers to wither prematurely. When watering, water the roots.

What to do if you overwater hibiscus

If water accumulates at the roots of the hibiscus and cannot be drained out, you need to change the pot, because there is too much water at the bottom of the original pot. If used for a long time, it may cause the flower to die. Therefore, you need to change to a well-ventilated pot so that the hibiscus can quickly resume growth.
