Hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii. The appearance of hibiscus flower is warm and bold, but it has a unique flower heart, which is formed by connecting most small pistils and wrapping them outside the big pistil.

Fresh love and implicit beauty mean exquisiteness, cleanliness and shyness.

The appearance of hibiscus flower is warm and unrestrained, but it has a unique flower heart, which is formed by connecting most small flowers and wrapping them outside the big flowers. The structure is quite detailed, just like the delicate heart under the warm appearance with subtle beauty. Moreover, it is said that indigenous girls put hibiscus flowers above their left ears to mean "I hope to have a lover" and above their right ears to mean "I already have a lover". What about both sides? I already have a lover, but I hope to have another one.

Brief introduction of hibiscus flowers

Hibiscus is also known as Zhu Jin, Honghua, Zhu Jin Peony and Fosang. It is an evergreen shrub of Malvaceae. The stem is erect and multi-branched, and the crown is far away, up to 6 meters high. Leaves alternate, broadly ovoid to narrowly ovoid, 7 ~ 10 cm long, 3 main veins, acute or acuminate apex, coarsely serrated or notched leaf margin, nearly entire base, hairless or slightly sparse dorsal veins, like mulberry leaves. Flowers are large, stalks drooping or straight, solitary in the axils of upper leaves, single and double; Single petals are funnel-shaped, usually rose-red, while double petals are not funnel-shaped and are red, yellow, pink and white. Flowering occurs all year round, and it is the most prosperous in summer and autumn.

In Guangdong, Hong Kong and other places, because of the dialect, "hibiscus" and "mourning" are homophonic, which is easy to cause misunderstanding, so try to avoid sending hibiscus flowers when sending flowers.

Fusang is loved by people all over the world because of its easy cultivation and long viewing period. Although few people will give each other hibiscus flowers, many people will plant hibiscus flowers themselves. Malaysia in Asia, Sudan in Africa, Fiji in Oceania and Hawaii in North America are all designated as national flowers or state flowers respectively. This shows the position of Fusang in Asia, Africa and other continents.

In addition to watching and giving people away, Fusang is full of treasures. The roots, leaves and flowers of hibiscus can be used as medicine, which has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and detumescence. Stem bark fiber is white and tough, which is a good material to make ropes and sacks instead of hemp.

Cultivation techniques of hibiscus flowers

Changing pots and pruning

The soil for potted plants should be loose and fertile sandy loam, and the pots should be changed before moving in early spring and April every year.

There are three things to do when changing pots: first, put in new culture soil; The second is to cut off some fibrous roots that are too dense and curly; The third is to apply plantar fertilizer and slightly add phosphate fertilizer to the pelvic floor. In order to maintain a beautiful tree shape and a large number of flowers, according to the characteristics of strong germination ability of hibiscus, pruning and shaping can be carried out before and after leaving the house in early spring. Except for 2-3 buds at the base, all the upper branches were cut off. Pruning can promote the new branches to grow more vigorously and the plant shape is beautiful. Water and fertilizer should be properly controlled after pruning, because the consumption of aboveground parts is reduced.

maintenance management

Zhu Jin is a positive tree species and should be moved outdoors in early May and placed in a sunny place. At this time, it is also the growing season of Fusang, so we should strengthen the management of fertilizing water, loosening soil and pulling weeds. Apply dilute liquid fertilizer every 7- 10 days, and water it according to the wet and dry conditions of the basin soil. Too dry or too wet will affect flowering.

Insufficient light, buds are easy to fall off, flowers shrink, and the sunshine should not be less than 8 hours a day. Fusang has a great demand for fertilizer, so it should be replenished in time when it is cultivated. Potted hibiscus usually leaves the house in April. Before going out, change pots, trim them properly and keep a beautiful crown. During the growing period, there should be enough water, no water shortage and no waterlogging. Usually, water should be used once a day, once in the dog days and once in the morning and evening. The ground is often sprinkled with water to cool down, so as to prevent the tender leaves from burning and the flowers from falling prematurely. After cooling at 10, move it into the greenhouse and keep the temperature above 12℃. Management should be cautious after autumn, and pay attention to less fertilization in the later period to avoid sprouting autumn shoots. Autumn bamboo shoots are tender and weak in cold resistance, and will be frozen in cold weather.

Freezing and keeping warm

Zhu Jin is not frost-tolerant, so it must be moved indoors to keep warm after the first frost and before beginning of winter. The overwintering temperature shall not be lower than 5℃ to avoid freezing injury; Not higher than 15℃, so as not to affect dormancy. Poor dormancy leads to poor growth and flowering in the following year. All furniture rooms with good heat preservation conditions facing south can survive the winter, and can be covered with paper or plastic film for heat preservation when the weather is cold. Move the house for the first time every day, open the window for ventilation, pay attention to the dry and wet changes of the basin soil, and water it properly. In the coldest days, watering can prevent freezing injury, but fertilization should be stopped.
