Planting Tips for Tiliaceus Hibiscus Flower Plant

  1. Site Selection:
    • Choose a sunny, well-drained location, preferably near a water source if planted in coastal areas.
  2. Soil Preparation:
    • Enrich soil with organic matter like compost to boost fertility.
    • Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
  3. Planting Time:
    • Best planted in spring or early summer for optimal growth.
  4. Planting Process:
    • Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball.
