How to deal with excessive watering of hibiscus

When hibiscus is watered too much, the excess water needs to be drained out in time to prevent water from accumulating in the soil, otherwise the roots will easily rot. You can also place the plant outdoors in the sun to allow the water to evaporate quickly.

Key points for watering hibiscus

During the growing period of Hibiscus, it is important to water it sufficiently and keep the soil moist at all times. Frequent watering on the surface of the potting soil can increase humidity and reduce temperature, preventing the flowers from falling prematurely. However, do not water it excessively to avoid damaging the roots and causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off.

Hibiscus can be watered once every 2-3 days under normal circumstances, but during the growth period of the plant, the soil needs to be kept moist. It is best to water it once a day, so that the stems and leaves can grow quickly.

Hibiscus has certain requirements for water quality. It is generally better to use clean water for watering. The pH value of water is most suitable when it is weakly acidic. You can use tap water to water hibiscus, but the tap water needs to stand for 1-2 days before use, and it can only be used after the chlorine has evaporated.
