How to care for your Hibiscus Syriacus Oiseau Bleu

• Light: This plant prefers full sun to partial shade, but avoid direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day.
• Water: It requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but also make sure not to overwater the plant, as this can lead to root rot.
• Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or poorly draining, consider adding compost or other organic matter to improve its quality.
• Fertiliser: It benefits from regular feeding with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Fertilise the plant once a month during the growing season and once every six weeks during the dormant season.
• Pruning: Regular pruning is important to encourage healthy growth and to maintain the plant’s shape. Cut back dead or damaged stems in the spring, and prune back the tips of the plant to control its size.
