The Chinese rose is considered an unpretentious plant, but violation of the basic rules of maintenance can seriously undermine the health of the flower.
There are several mistakes that harm hibiscus. It is enough to remember several rules so that the Chinese rose does not wither, does not get sick and pleases with abundant flowering.
Rest period
There is an opinion that hibiscus blooms for almost 12 months without a break. That is why flower growers pump the plant with fertilizers even in winter, when the flower should have a dormant period.
During the winter, the hibiscus should gain strength, rest and prepare for the new season. During this period, you cannot apply fertilizers, you should reduce watering by half and lower the ambient temperature. For example, the Chinese rose can be taken out to the loggia.
Trimming
Many gardeners do gentle pruning, removing only the most unsightly shoots. But chasing splendor by preserving most of the shoots will not give results.
Radical pruning not only forms a beautiful crown, but also ensures abundant flowering.
Water
It is no secret to most gardeners that tap water should not be used for watering. But sometimes even filtration does not save from excessive chlorine concentration. Yellowing hibiscus leaves are a signal.
To improve the quality of water for irrigation, it should be settled for 1-2 days. You can use melted or rain water.
