Do not over water💦.
It is a tropical plant so it likes a warm climate and full sun.
Blooms begin in late spring continuing all summer into the early fall.

Harvesting🌿
Always make sure your cutting tool is clean and sharp.
If you choose to prune your plant, Prune in early spring. When trimming cut branches just above a node, never cut back more than 1/3 of the branch.
Pruning your hibiscus will promote branch growth and keep your plant full and bushy, giving you more blooms.
