How to grow Hibiscus Flowers and its health benefits

Our first monsoon rain has drenched our city and its enthralling in every aspect specially for my plants who are finding relief after bearing hot scorching days of summer from last few days.Its best time to grow trees as humid and wet environment is best suited for growth of plants.


I absolutely love the hibiscus and one of the advantage of growing them is they are easy to grow and can be propagated through cuttings .





                                                                  Pink Hawaiin Hibiscus

They can be easily grown in pots with terminal  feed of  organic manure .Hibiscus has many varieties and they are hardy to mostly every temperate climatic regions.

They can easily be propagated through cuttings in this monsoon season and thereby you can get additional plants in a matter of time for free of cost.                                                                 

                                                        

This pic below shows an ideal cutting from hibiscus plant for propagating in this monsoon  by planting it in rich porous soil and leaving it stagnated for a month till the roots formed.One more easy method is to dip these cuttings in water and plant them when roots are visible.                                  


Its amazing to know that hibiscus flowers are edible and are popular in the form of tea which has many benefits on body for instance fighting with bacteria and even lowering blood pressure .

Its time for Jungle babbler to make a comeback in to the garden                                       






Does it look like smokey clouds ?

  7. I love that yellow hibiscus! Lovely sky, it does look like smoke. That isn't something I like to think about now that it's summer. If there are forest fires either to the south or the north of my valley, the valley fills with smoke and it isn't pretty. Maybe a nice side effect of the virus will be fewer people out in the forests to start fires.

  15. Yay, thank you for giving this info! If Hibiscus is able to grow in clay ground (my next house where I move to)this would be on my list, because the blooms come so easy (the landscapers in one of my previous condominium had planted one next to where we lived).Can you believe it, Yesterday I had Hibiscus ice tea! Many thanks for your post shared with All Seasons, have a great week, Jesh

  17. I have one hibiscus, don't know the variety. I tried using it for tea but it tastes terrible, not like the store-bought kind. I assumed it would still be healthy but gave up on it.
