Caring for Hibiscus Made Simple

For more detailed tips on caring for your hibiscus, be sure to visit our Hibiscus Care Page.

Sunlight Needs

Hibiscus plants love the sun and perform best in full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. In Australia’s warm climate, this means placing them in a sunny spot in your garden or patio. If you live in an area that experiences very high temperatures, a bit of afternoon shade can protect your hibiscus from sunburn, but they still need plenty of bright light to produce those beautiful, tropical blooms.

Watering Tips

Hibiscus thrives with regular watering, especially during the hot Australian summer. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. The key is balance—too much water can lead to root rot, while too little can cause the plant to wilt. Water in the morning to help the plant absorb moisture before the midday heat, and reduce watering slightly in the cooler months.

How to Overwinter Hibiscus

While hibiscus loves the heat, it can struggle in colder climates.

If you’re in a region that experiences frost during winter, consider planting your hibiscus in pots that can be moved indoors or into a sheltered area.

Mulching around the base of the plant also helps insulate roots from cold temperatures.  For further tips on overwintering your Hibiscus Plants please refer to our Hibiscus Care Page.
