Happy Hibiscus......
The only plant of
hibiscus, I have, the hibiscus rosa sinensis-the red one, is also among the
first batch of plants I brought when I moved to my new house. The plant,
though, I had planted in a regular earthen pot, was thriving for some time,
but, as it grew bigger, the pot, in which I planted it, started feeling small,
with the roots of the hibiscus growing out of the pot, that appeared to me as
the pot was too small for the roots to grow downwards, so the roots grew
upwards and out of the pot. But during that time also, it never stopped
blooming. My experience, with the hibiscus says that it blooms only in summers
and monsoon, with stunted growth in winters. Anyways, returning to the topic,
of the hibiscus blooming, What I had, was pretty good flowers in red colour,
though the size was not that great. As I was able to see the symptoms of the
pot I had planted my hibiscus, getting congested for the growing hibiscus, I
decided to remove it from the pot and replant it in another larger pot, or a
larger vessel. I tried looking for a larger pot in the vicinity, but couldn't
find one large enough, without shelling out hundreds of bucks. At that very
time, I had a plastic bucket that stared leaking out, as it had aged. Since
this was a good vessel for replanting my hibiscus, I used that bucket, filled
it with a mixture of soil and vermi-compost, and replanted my hibiscus into
this. And I suppose, that, worked for my hibiscus, and the results have been
amazing since then.
