Fusang, also known as Zhu Jin, originated in southern China. I like warm and humid climate, and I am not cold-resistant, frost-resistant and shade-tolerant. It is suitable for growing in sunny and ventilated places, and has low requirements for soil, but it grows best in fertile and loose slightly acidic soil, and the winter temperature is not lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

Propagation: Cutting and grafting propagation are commonly used. Cutting can be carried out except in winter, but the survival rate is high in rainy season. One-year-old semi-lignified cuttings are the best, the length is 10 cm, the top has leaves, the incision is flat, the sand bed is inserted, and it takes root about 3 weeks after insertion. Grafting is mostly used for double-flowered varieties that are difficult to cut, either by branch grafting or bud grafting, and the rootstock is single-flowered hibiscus.

Cultivation: potted hibiscus flowers need to be changed and trimmed every spring. Fusang is more fertilizer-tolerant, applying fertilizer 1 time every month in the growing period and applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer 2-3 times in the flowering period. Insufficient light makes the buds fall off easily, and the flowers become smaller and the color is dim. Nanjing area must be moved indoors in winter.

Should be used: hibiscus flowers are bright and colorful. In the south, they are scattered in front of pavilions, roadside and walls in Chi Pan. Potted hibiscus is suitable for living room and porch.
