热带芙蓉

越来越多的热带芙蓉
一种常见的植物中出售的商店和苗圃是热带芙蓉 (扶桑 ) 。这一众所周知的物种哈墨西哥湾沿岸,加利福尼亚州,佛罗里达州和夏威夷,但可设置户外夏季的任何部分国家。 有数百个品种带来的各种形状的花朵,以及几乎在所有的颜色和销售集装箱厂在布什或雕塑的形式。

粉红色的热带芙蓉

护理:
芙蓉需要,以及排水略有酸性土壤,直接的阳光和一些保护(过滤阴影)当温度在90度。 当您把它的第一次你需要适应它的高温和阳光。 他们也想了很多水。 施肥掉以轻心,往往以稀释10-10-10或20-20-20在有效的生长季节。

磁盘像花朵通常会最后一到两天,并在单一的五个花瓣,冠单人,双人和世界杯飞碟双。 芙蓉已活跃的时期是开花之后,休息,室内进行。 所以,如果你的开花植物停止了一段时间,它可能只是休息。

在越冬
当夜间温度低于50摄氏度带上芙蓉室内过冬。 为了帮助忍受漫长的赛季,保持在一个( 65-75 ) ,明亮的阳光房( 4-5小时)摆脱直接热和草稿。 水少,但保持土壤湿润均匀,并提供湿度的加湿器或圆托盘装满了水。 检查害虫如蚜虫,粉虱和叶螨和治疗具有杀虫肥皂如果蝗虫发生。 另一种选择是,让您的芙蓉成为休眠过冬。 使其在室内,并停止浇水,直到土壤干旱和叶片已脱落。 然后将其放置在阴凉,黑暗的房间内温度为40 - 45F 。 土壤定期检查,以确保它没有完全干涸。 当顶端2-3厘米的干,水足以滋润土壤,使植物死亡。

修剪
如果您的工厂已经徒长 ,并失去了控制,您可以修剪它1月3号至1月2号早春重塑并保持浓密。 修剪的根源在秋季也有助于减缓分行增长。

在凉爽的气候,芙蓉可享有作为室内的冬季室内和户外活动带来的夏天。 少照顾,您可以享受这些热带花卉和关闭所有年之久。

司空见惯是变黄叶片和叶下降 ;这可能是由于overwatering或underwatering 。 你如何确定哪一个? 看看根球。 难道potbound ? 意思是紧张的根源,以便它们生长在一个圆形图案很少土壤离开? 做日常用水和植物依然干? 如果发生这种情况,你是' underwatering ' 。 没有足够的土壤保留任何水和养分。 而不是浸泡的水和养分的流动权通过排水孔离开您的植物口渴和饥饿。 现在是时候repot成为一个较大的容器中。 的最佳时机repot是春季,但如果不能等,以增加土壤的容器,以帮助水分的吸收和水缓慢。 额外的信息去http://www.hibiscusworld.com

    热带芙蓉扶桑 )喜欢充分孙,略酸性土壤排水良好。 当您把它的第一次你需要它来适应激烈的阳光照射,所以把它放在一个部分遮阳罩情况在一些热的天会给你更多的花朵。 水定期,几乎每天都在天气炎热( 90年代) ,确保水渠了。 施肥掉以轻心,往往在生长季节使用稀释20-20-20或10-10-10公式。 (例如:不是2 tsps化肥使用) 。 您还可以添加时间缓释微丸渗入土壤。 芙蓉花去年仅一天。 但是,一旦开始开花植物您将享受新的日常生活。 我希望这会帮助,请写信如果您有更多问题。 享受您的芙蓉

  • 贝基

    我有一个芙蓉,在夏威夷买了,这仅仅是一个坚持似乎是根源。 我如何植物吗?

  • 维基stuckless

    我需要帮助,我的工厂我买了芙蓉 ,现在我所有的叶子脱落 ,它仍然开花什么我可以利用它

    叶下降的迹象可以表明应力的几个问题要么干土,湿土壤,太多树荫或昆虫。 我会尝试给它轻平衡肥( 10-10-10 )和水定期让土壤干前稍微浇水一次。 为确保获得足够的阳光。

  • 1月汉弗莱

    我是一个热带芙蓉在挂篮。 这是只有约2 '高大现在,并给予大量的鲜花,今年,加上大量的种子,也,但果荚没有考虑个月开放。 他们打开两个或三个星期后,花干枯和脱落。 我可以播下种子现在越来越? 我能保持这种植物在冬季吗?

    是的,您可以播下种子 最好做室内每年的这个时候。 一旦他们萌发的幼苗保持室内过冬。 根据您居住的机会是您的热带芙蓉需要冬季室内。

  • Lacretta

    我没有离开的评论,但我也和这些小错误是,他们是为你描述。 植物似乎没有太可怕它们所困扰,但是,我注意到一些深色斑点的一些下部叶片。 他们即将再次绽放,所以我想一些强调了他们可能的话。

    如果您有蚜虫软体,椭圆形昆虫强烈喷射的水将敲赶走或杀虫肥皂 (更有效) 。 使用了几次你需要消除昆虫在所有的发展阶段。 否则,他们会回来的。 如果你有白色的飞行,可能需要一个更强有力的化学品。

  • 萨拉

    我有一个上升锦葵芙蓉室内。 植物看起来非常健康,但花朵都脱落前开花。 是什么造成了这种增长将回到他们本赛季?

    当花蕾开放之前下降通常表明某种胁迫对植物。 因为它是越来越以及它可能只是一个环境状况。 芙蓉moscheutos没有更好的在一个潮湿的环境和更多的阳光下变得更好。 尝试将其户外活动,如果你能或将其移至一个更加光明的位置。 他们通过初秋盛开所以你应该获得一些新的味蕾。

  • 比莉

    我们种植的24 木槿 ,今年夏初,粉红色和黄色相间。 他们盛开奇妙约一个月,而现在我们只有很少的几个盛开的粉红色植物参考。 黄河已停止完全盛开。 你能提供意见。 我们生活在阳光明媚的佛罗里达州中部和植物中充分太阳。 灌木丛正在做伟大的,但我们很喜欢花。

    你有没有施肥呢? 芙蓉是沉重饲养和需要轻应用往往(每两个星期) 。 低磷肥(规划)促进更多的花朵。

  • 乔安妮昆茨

    我们也有问题芽下降沿着东部海岸的佛罗里达州。 你能找出可能的原因? 太多的雨水和较高的时代?
    我们有相当多的(所有的户外)芙蓉。

    芽下降可能造成的土壤,如果太干,太湿,没有足够的肥料。 这是一个指标,有一些压力的情况。

  • 学者 DETZER

    我有两个热带芙蓉种植外面 我tryed使它们在冬季,但他们总是死。 有没有什么办法可以让他们和境外支付他们好?
    请告知。 学者Detzer

    除非你住在带10月12日,您将需要把您的热带芙蓉。 P花边它在一个凉爽的房间可以得到3-4小时的阳光直射。 不要repot ,等到春天。 尝试添加一些humidy在干燥的冬季,这将有助于与叶和萌芽状态下降。 保持在干方,但不让它干。 剪枝回来1月3号至1月2号在早春得到充分和浓密的新的增长点。 另一种方式是让植物进入休眠状态,使锅变干,叶下降。 让植物在阴凉40度,干燥。 水足够让来自shriveling 。 删除它在春天和开始浇水。 祝您好运

  • 薇琪deubner

    如何获取从一个热带植物木槿

    一个热带芙蓉 ,最简单的方法是采取5-8 “剪报的新的增长在3月或4月。 切割下的叶节点和删除下部叶片。 浸削减生根激素结束,坚持在一个小火锅充满了良好的排水土壤如沙粒及泥炭。 保持略微潮湿(不是太湿)的阳光直射在温度为70-80度。 应该扎根于4-6周。 一旦有根深蒂固的植物扦插在3 “锅和6时切割”长期降息的主要干,以促进侧分支。 需要几个剪报在某些情况下不采取。

  • 里克法国

    我有一个1岁芙蓉工厂 (放在户外现场时,去年1月的气候相似,现在)已经突然很黄色,其余看起来就要寿终正寝。 我已经减少了它浇水了,但是只有1分钟(每天1分钟。两次...以1分钟一次) 。 气温已分40F在夜间。 它较少的水...或冷吗?

    听起来更像是天气寒冷。寒冷的天气将放慢增长速度不会因此需要多饮水。 泛黄叶片表明一些应激因素(温度的变化,少轻)毕竟这是一个热带植物。 您芙蓉可去休眠期。 允许它放弃其叶片,减少浇水,直到春天或使室内过冬..

  • 苏珊

    我有一个问题我的室内木槿,去年夏天购买的。 它生长在约一英尺,当时(现在约5 1 / 2 '高(并没有停止开花,因为我得到它-目前6水藻和约25味蕾。我不能点任何蚜虫的,但我获得一些黑暗,小点的后背上的一些叶片出现粘和凝胶样粘性物质在该基地的一些树叶。斑点的最终变成黄色和下拉(或删除) ,它似乎更糟在沉重的盛开。这是一个很大的厂房和喜悦...我需要知道如何保持快乐。感谢您的任何意见,您可以让。

  • 贝丝

    我有一个木槿植物 ,我从一个3 “植物和现在约3 '高。 该工厂需要削减,但我恐怕削减和植物还没有盛开。 我总是保持室内植物和植物是非常健康的。 任何意见使植物开花和多远我应该削减工厂没有送它进入休克?

    您可以放心地修剪它1 / 3至1 / 2塑造工厂和在启动时增加施肥是鱼乳液或一个平衡施肥10-10-10 ,以获得成长,开花。

  • 梅利莎

    我有一个热带芙蓉树,我把它在冬季并把它在暗室里,并停止浇水它过冬。 由于天气回暖,终于来到,我把它放在了我的院子。 目前,它看起来死亡作为门钉子。 我杀死这个无视它的冬季还是会回来?

    冬季在热带芙蓉是为了保护它的保暖。 休眠状态的时间在室内他们需要有至少3-4小时的阳光和保持略有潮湿随时从干燥。 这是起码的要求只是为了保持它活着。 要查看您的植物生存的冰山一角干,看看是否有任何绿色。 没准它真死

  • 芮妮

    喂! 我有一个芙蓉是6岁。 这是一个室内植物 当我第一次买了工厂我有几个花。 在过去的两年里我还没有一个花。 我能做些什么让该植物开花吗?

    芙蓉像很多阳光和温暖的气候开花。 不知照顾它,我建议你修剪回任何长腿分行今年春天,当新的增长开始施肥与平衡的化肥( 10-10-10 )或使用定时释放肥料。 木槿是沉重的饲养,让您施肥应掉以轻心,往往( 1个)在生长季节。 简化你的工厂慢慢户外暴露它的花几个小时或阴影光线适应它的光线条件下,或者您可能烧伤(烫伤)的叶子。 请注意,新的杂交品种可以的寿命5-10年。

  • 弗兰克Orto

    热带芙蓉我住在芝加哥地区。 我买了三个扶桑去年夏天,放在我的院子。 它们开花,并期待很大。 当秋天来,我将它们移动到我的加热垃圾了一个大窗口。 在寒冷的垃圾下降到45度,站起身来的高50 。 2 3植物失去了他们所有的叶子。 今年2月,我搬到了所有三个到附近的一个窗口。 1植物成长回到它的叶片,并开花。 其他两个没有离开但当我从头开始他们的banches ,它仍然是绿色。 从2月至5月,这两个厂都没有离开,但是当我看到绿色抓伤。 这两个工厂将回来了吗?

    继续你的水芙蓉,希望与温暖的气候会醒来,并开始再度增长。 一旦您看到的一个迹象增长跳转启动它与一些稀释肥料。 这也是一个好时机,您的植物修剪如果您需要塑造它。 修剪还可以刺激新的经济增长。

    您好贝蒂
    您可以增加湿度,把工厂的浅托盘装满卵石。 倒入水到托盘,但不要让水位超越鹅卵石。 The rising vapor will increase moisture in the air. Grouping plants together, and spraying a fine mist every morning will also increase humidity. A humidfier in the room will work best.

  • Nicole Bond

    Hello we live in Ontario Canada and have planted our plants out in the ground this summer. We were told that in we keep them outside all year roound. They said just cut them back in the sping the weather here normally ranges from -15 to -45 on occaision. Is this true and if so how much do we cut them back.

    You may be referring to hibiscus moscheutos a popular hibiscus hybrids that produces dinner plate size flowers in August to Oct. They completely die back in the winter (like a perennial) so you can either remove the stems in the spring or cut the plant down 3-6 inches above the ground in the fall. Rose Mallow returns in late spring when soil temperatures warm up.

  • ERIN

    Hello,
    I have a few Tropical hibiscus plants (30) and a few of them are looking rather weird. This is affecting the Rum Runner Hybrids mostly, When I first bought them the leaves were nice and full, now they are smaller and cup upwards. This change began to take place only a few weeks after I put them in the ground, They receive full sunlight and are watered sufficiently. I started fertilizing about a month ago and still no change, other than big HUGE Blooms. I thought I had read someplace it was some sort of deficiency but I cannot remember of what… ANy thoughts?
    Thank You

    It may be a minor element deficiency-check out this link for more nutrient information http://www.hibiscusworld.com/howie/ch05.htm

  • Steve

    I was in Wash. DC recently and saw a rather large tropical hibiscus (4″ trunk) about 5-6′ tall. I wouldn’t think that a plant this large would be moved indoors for the winter and then replanted in the spring. I live in Georgia and have three beautiful Yellow hibiscus planted outside and would like to leave them out for the winter. Winters here are about 25-45F. Would this be possible if the plants are mulched around heavily?

    It would be a gamble. Tropical hibiscus tolerate freezing temperatures only for a brief time. If you mulch heavily around the plant you may be able to protect the roots from freezing but the top of the plant will most likely die. In the event of a freeze wrap the stems (if you can) for protection. With global warming - who knows what kind of winter you’ll have.

  • Rowena

    I brought my Hibiscus tree in for the winter and i have a new kitten who decided ‘hugging’ the tree would be fun. Anyway, upon further inspection, i noticed a ton of claw marks all up & down the tree. I have since cut some soda bottles & put it around the bark, but my leaves are turning yellow & falling off. I am hoping it is just from overwatering, but i want to know if there might be a treatment i should do for the claw marks. Maybe some type of a wrap? i dont know. Please help. Thanks.

    The tree should recover on its own-no need to wrap it. The soda bottles is a good idea-anything that keeps the kitten off the tree will work. Leaf loss is not unusual when you bring the plant indoors. Keep it in the brightest window and water less during the winter months. It will perk up again in the spring when it goes back outside.

  • Michele

    I live in Baton Rouge, LA and I have a few hibiscus plants. I know that you can take cuttings and root them , but my question is, when would be a good time to do this and how much should I cut?

    To propagate tropical hibiscus , the easiest way is to take 5-8″ cuttings of new growth in March or April. Cut just under a leaf node and remove lower leaves. Dip cut end in rooting hormone and stick in a small pot filled with a well-drained soil such as sand & peat moss. Keep it slightly moist(not too wet) out of direct sunlight in temperatures ranging from 70-80 degrees. Should root in 4-6 wks. Once cuttings have rooted plant in a 3″pot and when cutting is 6″ long cut the main stem to promote side branching. Take a few cuttings in case some don’t take.

  • Leslie Myers

    Help! I just recently moved to MS zone 8. Bought two beautiful Hibiscus late last summer and planted outside. Didn’t ask if they were hardy (silly me, I moved from FL) and it appears they are not as they are now black and wilted after a recent frost. One of the locals said to just cut it back even with the ground and next Spring all will be well! Is this possible?? They are well mulched and seemed to love their location responding beautifully after the transplant from pot to ground.

    Yes, there are varieties of hibiscus (H. mutabilis) (H. moscheutos) that die back to the ground and return in the spring. Keep the roots well mulched in the winter.

  • Barbara Semeiks

    I was just going to cut back my Hibsicus for the spring, and now notice a few flowers and buds growing. I should have cut them back earlier. Is it too late to trim them way back for the summer months, or should I wait until the buds are finished flowering?

    It is better if you cut it before new growth starts.If your’e going to cut it back ,then do so now. Later will be much harder as you will have more new growth. Bite the bullet and do it. You’ll be happy when it comes back bushier and produces more flowers.

  • melissa russell

    i live in ohio and i have an outdoor hardy hibiscus -i cut it back last fall and now, so far, it looks dead-will it come around or did i kill it?

    Hi Melissa
    Not sure which hardy hibiscus you have Hibiscus syriacus (Rose of Sharon) or Hibiscus moscheutos (Perennial hibiscus). Pruning would not kill either. Scratch the bark and see if there is some green in the stem, if so then it’s still alive. You may have Hibiscus moscheutos . They produce diner plate size flowers and the stems die back to the ground. It won’t come back until late spring when the soil warms up and blooms in late summer.

  • Mary

    I have over-wintered my tropical hibiscus very successfully until now. It is blooming again, but at the same time one or more branches starts wilting. What is happening? HELP! I have pruned those that wilted so far, but seems to be getting worse. It’s still too cold to move outdoors.

    Hi Mary
    Wait till night temperatures are around 55F to leave them outside. I am presuming that you are watering it but be careful not to over water. If the soil is wet and the plant is wilting that means there is a root problem. In that case let it dry out and water less to allow the plant to recover. Outdoor environment will help a lot but remember that when you place it outdoors put it in a shaded area for the first 2 weeks so the plant can reacclimate to the bright light outdoors.

    Comment on Plant & Gardening Tips, for topic: Tropical Hibiscus:
    A note for people with dogs and Hibiscus. My golden retriever LOVES the flowers..and in searching the internet, Hibiscus is on a few “safe for dogs” lists but is on more “toxic to dogs ” list. The day before yesterday he ate a lot of flowers. They made him very lethargic, his gums were very pale, he had no energy and acted very odd in general. His blood pressure was very low! He had finally eaten enough of those darn pink blossoms to make him quite sick.
    So we had to cut the tree down today. Just for information for all that have dogs and Hibiscus trees!

    Thanks for the info!

  • Nancy, Harvey's Lake, Pa

    Hello. I have a 6 ft hibiscus tree that the leafs seem to be dying and some small branchs too.. Is there a fertilizer I can use with certain numbers I need to watch for ?? I am now using Miracle Grow for trees ? but no luck with limbs or leafs staying on.. It is a beautiful tree.. also it is in the church basement nearest the windows we can move it… it is bright there all day long, but no direct sunshine… please help

    H i Nancy

    I’m afraid fertilizer won’t help in this case. Fertilizer only works when then plant is healthy and actively growing. The reason it is dropping leaves and dying is that it is “dying” to go outdoors. This is a tropical plant that thrives in full sun,warm temperatures and humidity, you are providing it with filtered light which is not enough. Unless you change the environment it will continue to sulk and decline.

    I’ve been (trying) to acclimate my hibiscus to the outside this past week. I had it outside for about 6 hours today - temps were in the mid-60s, not much wind. It’ll be dropping into the upper 30s/low 40s so I brought it back inside. Yesterday all the leaves were strong and a healthy shade of green. When I brought it in tonight, most of the leaves have faded and are limp and very weak looking. Did I stress it too much today? Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life?

    Hibiscus need to acclimate slowly, especially if they were indoors all this time. Too much sun too fast will cause the leaves to fade . It should perk up. Take it out to AM sun only for a few hours at a time for a week and then shade for the rest of the day provided the weather is warm enough.

    which variety of hibiscus would grow in a room where the temperature ranges from 80 degrees to 110 degrees? there is some light but mostly shade.

    Do you get at least an hour or two of direct sunlight?

    I have 2 hibiscus bushes that I got this spring that are outside in large pots. They were doing wonderfully and blooming every day. I believe they are in their “rest” period because the blooms have slowed down. But my question is that one of the bushes all of a sudden became very limp and the leaves and buds are hanging. We had some heavy rains and I noticed some water pooling the the pot. Could this be the reason and if so what should I do?

    Hi Melissa
    You plant is showing symptoms of hibiscus wilt disease , which is caused by too much water. The leaves darken (don’t turn yellow) and wilt and then die. Drain out as much water as you can and in a heavy rain move it to a sheltered area away from excess water. One remedy is to do a soil drench. Take 1 pt. of bleach to 2 qts of water and pour into the soil-this should kill the fungus that is causing the problem. Good luck. Hopefully, it will recover.

    Last year we bought a hibiscus and planted it outdoors in a large pot. Because we live in New England, we brought it in and it did well indoors over the Winter although by Spring it was losing a lot of leaves. We planted it back outdoors and it stayed dormant for weeks - loosing all leaves. When the leaves starting appearing, the growth was extremely slow. The plant has been outdoors now for approximately 2 months and the leaves are abnormally small, much darker green than last year’s, and there is no sign of flowers. What is wrong? Thanks so much.

    Have you fertilized it this season? They are heavy feeders.

    I have a question regarding my hibiscus plant and I reside in Texas. I had my plant on the back patio where there is some shade during the day but very windy. I noticed that the plant starting declining but I did water it every day. I decided to move the plant to the front where it gets no wind and part sun/shade. The leaves are all dead and brown but there is still green when I check the stems. When I moved the plant to the front out of the wind I had repotted before doing so thinking this would help. It has been over 3 weeks and no new growth. What can I do? Thanks, Chad

    Hi Chad
    There’s nothing you can do right now. Keep the plant in a protected, shaded area. You don’t need to water every day, let the soil dry out between waterings(top 1 inch). Hopefully, it will recover.

    I live in St.petersburg fl, and have a hibiscus that was planted at least 6 years ago. It is in direct sunlight in the middle of the day and filtered light the rest of the time. It appears extremly healthy with the exception that the buds fall off before o

    Hi Dale
    Flower buds are the first to tell you that the plant is under some kind of stress which can be too much or too little water or excess fertilizer and insects such as thrips. In addition hibiscus have a tendency to drop buds when the weather gets too hot.

    I have about 30 tropical Hibiscus in plant and tree form. I have had great success with them for several years. They are over-wintered and flower well in my greenhouse. They are brought out onto my patio with optimal conditions. Every year (from May on), they bloom all summer profusely. This year, with the same regimen, I have no flowers this far into the season! The plants, especially the trees, have grown huge/wide with abundant beautiful leaves, but NO flowers. I had been using 20-20-20 Miracle-Gro, but swithched to the Bloom-Booster in late June..no difference. Looking at the branch ends, I see many tiny falling buds, some yellow, some brown, while some branch ends have nothing but leaves. I had a problem with rose midge this year in the garden. Now, I’m thinking this may have moved up to the Hibiscus (10′above). Should I spray Insectidicial soap? The nights are about 65-70 lately. Thank you!

    Here is some info on hibiscus bud midge -http://mrec.ifas.ufl.edu/lso/pestalrt/midgefin1.htm

    Is it advantageous to the Hibiscus mosheutos plant to leave the seed pod attatched over the winter? Do the ‘dropped’ seeds produce new hibiscus starts?

    Hi Raye
    The seed pod can be left on the plant. It will scatter the seed and with a little luck produce new plants in the spring. You can also collect the pod and plant the seeds in the spring. The seeds will need to be soaked overnight before planting.

    I have a Hibiscus bush and recently brought it inside due to the cold weather in NJ First, I wanted to ask if there is anything I can do for my plant in the house that will help it to grow, flower, and stay beautiful. My house is pretty hot in the winter approx. 75 to 80 degrees at times. Right now the plant seems to be flowering beautifully about 9 flowers at a time. Only issue with the flowers is that they do not seem to be that beautiful bright red they once were when living outside. Now they are a light red almost pink color. Secondly, I wanted to ask if I can dry out the flowers to make tea. If so, how would I proceed in doing so? I have searched for some direction on this but really no good results! Can you please lead me in the right direction? Are these flowers edible and can they be used in any other recipes that you know of?

    Hi Jennifer
    The flowers will become lighter due to less light exposure. Your hibiscus will need some additional humidity during the winter to do well, otherwise it will drop its leaves.
    Hibiscus tea is made from H. sabdariffa var. sabdariffa (Roselle, Jamaican sorrel, Florida cranberry ). The calyxes,not flowers are used for tea. Once the flower withers, the red calyx at the flower base will enlarge and become fleshy. The flower petals actually drop off before the calyx enlarges and is ready to pick. http://newcrop.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/roselle.html
