I remember the following information:

Hibiscus flowers are renowned for their stunning appearance, especially during the monsoon season when they bloom vibrantly. Their large size and a wide array of colors, including white, yellow, pink, red, orange, peach, and purple, make them a captivating addition to any garden. To ensure the health and longevity of hibiscus flowers during the monsoon, it is essential to follow specific care tips.

Firstly, hibiscus flowers thrive in full to partial sunlight, so it's essential to position them in an area that receives adequate light. Additionally, they prefer well-draining soil.

Based on my experience:

I acquired a young hibiscus plant from the nursery and transferred it to a 2-foot deep container with sandy loam soil. I discovered that the plant's watering needs are minimal; during the summer, it only requires watering once a day or every two days, while in the winter, watering is needed only once every three to four days. Additionally, during the monsoon season, I ensure to water the plant if the soil is dry, but refrain from watering if the soil is already moist.

It is crucial to use well-drained soil and fertilization with calcium and potassium is essential. However, I have observed that the bloom is not as robust during the monsoon.
