hibiscus-pink_1817-webThese flowering evergreen shrubs can grow to five-feet tall in warm climates, in northern New Mexico they are definitely indoor plants! 

Hibiscus are easy to grow and will bloom often as long as they are:

  • placed in a sunny location
  • 
kept warm (not lower than about 60 degrees)
  • 
given a regular and generous water supply (a bit less in winter)
  • 
occasionally misted with a little tepid  water
  • 
fed monthly with a mild liquid fertilizer
