🌞 Growing conditions and care

• Watering: water regularly during the warm season, keeping the substrate slightly moist but not waterlogged. It does not tolerate standing water around the roots.

• Humidity: appreciates moderate atmospheric humidity and good ventilation, without cold drafts.
• Fertilization: during the growing and flowering period, regular fertilization with a fertilizer for flowering plants is recommended.
• Maintenance: remove spent flowers and dry leaves to keep the plant clean and encourage the formation of new buds.

🌱 Recommended substrate

For Hibiscus Long Life ‘Apollo Double’, a fertile, airy, and well-draining substrate suitable for flowering plants is recommended. A good mix may contain peat or coco coir, perlite, and a nutrient-rich organic component.

The pot must have good drainage. Excess water in the cover pot or saucer can cause root problems, especially during cooler periods.
