How do you winterize a Hibiscus tree ?
Start getting your Hibiscus ready to bring indoors when Daylight Saving Time ends. The temperature slowly starts to drop in the evening leading to cooler nights. Place the Hibiscus in a shady location for two weeks to begin acclimatizing it for interior residence. During this time check your plant for any insects and spray with the appropriate insecticide. Place the Hibiscus in a southern or western exposure. Your Hibiscus may experience yellowing of the leaves and leaf drop. Your plant is just adjusting to their new surroundings. During the winter months it is recommended to use a humidity saucer for your Hibiscus. You can easily make this by getting a saucer and lining the bottom of the saucer with small gravel or pebbles and filling the saucer with water to the level of the stones.
Reply:I have a tropical hibiscus tree that is 7 foot tall. I bring it in at the 1st chance of a frost. This will be its 7th winter season. I cut it back to a manageable size of 5 feet. I water it weekly. Once the weather allows I slowly take it outside. To much sun at one time will cause it to burn the leaves. It will recover but it takes many months. Just slowly introduce it to the sun light.
Reply:treat it as normal...just bring it in...and put it in a sunny place...


we have had one for years...and it has lasted ct winters inside...we have done nothing different to it...
Reply:Water hibiscus when the soil is dry to the touch. The roots must remain constantly moist, but not wet. Well-drained soil is key.


Remove faded flowers to keep plants looking tidy. Grooming also discourages insect pests by eliminating their hiding places.


Protect hibiscus from cold weather. Move plants grown in containers to a protected area. Plants grown in the ground should be covered if temperatures are expected to drop below freezing.


Some do not require much attention once they stabilize


planting should have sunlight at least six hours a day


They can be taken inside when freezing starts. Make sure to leave them by a window so that some sunlight is available. Proper care will bring out the best in your Hibiscus.
