2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Malvales
Family: Malvaceae
Genus: Hibiscus
Species: H. rosa-sinensis
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to East Asia, particularly southwestern China; widely cultivated and naturalized throughout tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Commonly grown in home gardens, public landscapes, and greenhouses across Asia, the Pacific islands, Africa, and the Americas.
4. Visual Characteristics
Evergreen shrub with glossy, ovate leaves 5–10 cm long and serrated margins. Produces large, double-layered, ruffled orange flowers 8–12 cm in diameter around a prominent protruding staminal column. New growth often flushed red; continuous blooming under optimal conditions.
5. Size & Dimensions
Mature height: 1.5–2.5 m; Mature width: 1–2 m. Leaf length: 5–10 cm; Flower diameter: 8–12 cm. Recommended container diameter for potted specimens: 20–30 cm. Growth rate: moderate to fast under warm, humid conditions.
6. Light Requirements
Full sun (minimum 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) is ideal for prolific flowering. Tolerates light afternoon shade in extremely hot climates. Insufficient light will result in sparse blooms and leggy growth.
7. Watering Needs
Maintain consistently moist soil; water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods; avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root rot. Slight reduction in watering during cooler months.
8. Soil & Potting
Prefers well-draining loamy soil rich in organic matter with a slightly acidic pH (6.0–6.5). Container mix: peat moss or coco coir, compost, and perlite or coarse sand. Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound, refreshing substrate to maintain fertility.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature range: 18–30 °C; sensitive to frost, minimum safe temperature ~10 °C. Thrives in high humidity (60–70%). For indoor culture, increase humidity via misting, pebble tray, or humidifier.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 NPK) every 4–6 weeks during active growth. For enhanced blooming, switch to a high-potassium formula (e.g., 5-10-10) once monthly. Periodically flush soil to prevent salt buildup.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Moderate care level. Regular deadheading of spent blooms promotes continuous flowering. Prune lightly after peak bloom to shape plant and encourage branching. Monitor for pests and promptly treat infestations to maintain vigor.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagation primarily by semi-hardwood cuttings (10–15 cm) taken in spring or early summer. Use rooting hormone and maintain high humidity (e.g., under a dome). Layering and air layering are also effective; seed propagation yields variable offspring and slower establishment.
13. Common Problems
Pests: aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, mealybugs. Diseases: Cercospora leaf spot, root rot from overwatering, bud drop due to temperature or moisture stress. Management: improve air circulation, apply insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils, adjust watering practices.
14. Benefits & Uses
Valued as an ornamental specimen in garden beds, hedges, and containers. Attracts pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies. Edible petals used in herbal teas, beverages, and traditional remedies. Culturally significant symbol in many tropical regions.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Leaves and flowers are non-toxic to humans. Mildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested—may cause gastrointestinal upset. Wear gloves when pruning to avoid skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
