About Hibiscus Red Desi
Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is an evergreen perennial from the Malvaceae family, known locally as Jasvandi, Gurhal, or Japa. This is the most familiar hibiscus variety of all - the classic Indian desi type with large red single flowers, recognisable even to school children, and a staple of Indian home gardens.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, keeping moisture near the root zone.
Planting & Placement
Grows well in a pot at least 30cm wide, though ground planting is best for a fuller shrub. Reaches 3-4 metres in height with a 1-2 metre spread. Best outdoors in full sun.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month, watered in immediately after application.
- Pruning: Light, regular pruning keeps the plant bushy and dwarf; mealybugs are the most common issue, treatable with a Neem oil spray.
Flowering
Blooms year-round with large red flowers, opening during the day and closing at night.
