Why do hibiscus flowers wilt after blooming?

1. Unsuitable environment, such as low temperature;
2. Lack of certain nutrients. At this time, you need to observe whether the leaf shape and color of hibiscus are normal;
3. Insect pests: you can observe whether there are insect bodies on the fallen and withered flowers and the necks of the flowers, such as eggs, pupae, and feces;
4. Diseases. Generally, diseases can cause discoloration, rot, wilting, and deterioration of flowers, leaves, and stems. In many cases, mold, frost, powder, or small particles can be seen on the diseased parts. However, if it occurs in cold seasons, this possibility is unlikely.
5. Hormone imbalance in plants, such as excessive abscisic acid, can cause flowers to fall and buds to disappear;
6. Normal physiological and metabolic reactions. This may be due to malnutrition. Because the flower buds cannot grow, they choose to fall or wither on their own to ensure the overall growth needs of the plant.

How to remedy hibiscus flower wilt

The first thing is watering. Don't water too frequently, otherwise it is easy to damage the roots of the flowers. So you must be regular when watering hibiscus. Sometimes it is a problem if the water is not thoroughly watered, so you must water the flowers thoroughly when watering, otherwise it is normal for the flowers and leaves to wilt.

The second is to fertilize. The issue of fertilizing flowers must not be ignored, but many flower lovers will ignore this issue. However, you should also pay attention when fertilizing. Too much fertilizer can easily burn the roots of hibiscus flowers. In addition, some people prefer to use raw fertilizer. Using raw fertilizer is also a kind of damage to hibiscus flowers.

Another important point is the flower soil. The wilting of hibiscus leaves is actually inseparable from the flower soil. If the soil is not breathable or the space in the flowerpot is too crowded, it may cause the hibiscus flowers to wilt.

Therefore, you must find suitable flower soil and flower pots, but when repotting, you should water the flowers appropriately to moisten them, then take out the hibiscus flowers, and then plant them in the prepared new pot soil. When filling the soil, try to flatten the soil next to it, and you're done. Also remember not to put too much soil in when repotting, otherwise the flower roots will not be able to breathe easily.

If the flower wilts due to excessive light, you should take shade measures, sprinkle more water on the wilted area, and pay attention to ventilation, and it will recover soon.

How to Grow Hibiscus

Hibiscus has high requirements for the temperature of its growing environment. When we grow hibiscus, we should try to control the temperature above 12 degrees Celsius.

Especially in the cold winter, we must treat hibiscus flowers with more care, take a series of warming measures, and try to keep the ambient temperature of hibiscus flowers above 5 degrees Celsius to avoid frostbite during the winter dormancy period.

Hibiscus is a plant that likes moisture and hates drought. In the hot summer, we can increase the frequency of watering the hibiscus. Adequate water can accelerate the growth of hibiscus.

Proper pruning can make hibiscus grow better. When a large number of buds appear on the branches of hibiscus, we should prune the hibiscus. Cutting off the excess buds can make the hibiscus grow more vigorously.
