Hibiscus pleasantly pleased with its beauty, variety of inflorescence palette (more than 300 species) and, of course, unpretentiousness. Every year its popularity grows with florists. Therefore, many dream of such delights at home.

The article describes how to do it and when: some subtleties how to plant this amazingly beautiful flower. And also what to do after the procedure and possible problems: the plant does not take root or wither.

Why do I need to move the plant to another pot?

There are two types of movement of indoor plants from pot to pot - transplanting and transfer.

Transfer for any flowers is preferable, with this method the roots of the plant remain in the old earth, the plant reacts less to the new environment and takes root faster, it also helps to keep the roots intact. A transplant involves changing the soil mixture completely, exposing the roots, which can lead to damage.

Transplanting is required if:

sick plant;
pests have appeared in the soil;
the roots began to rot;
replacement of the wrong selected earth mixture.

Handling is preferable when the hibiscus roots have no place to grow in the old pot.

Is it possible to spring or during flowering when possible?

The first three years the plant is transplanted every spring, then every 3-3.5 years. The ideal time to transplant is March-April, when the flower awakens after the winter and begins to grow actively. At this time, hibiscus adapts faster to the new habitat, but in summer you can transplant a flower on a rainy or overcast day. It is not recommended to replant in the autumn, as the hibiscus prepares for a state of rest, the “sleepy” hibiscus can die.

Transplanting is done when the pot for hibiscus has become small, as well as during illness. Replant a flowering plant is strictly prohibited.

After the purchase

Transplant immediately upon arrival home is not desirable. Hibiscus should get used to the new environment. The exception is an unsuitable pot. The store plant before transplantation must be treated with a disinfecting solution, since it is completely unclear what conditions the plant contained.

In open ground

The most important thing in transplanting is choosing a place for a Chinese rose. It should be protected from drafts, warm up by the sun and well lit.

Planting a young plant should occur after the onset of constant heat. It is necessary to dig a big hole, be sure to lay a layer of drainage (it can be drainage coal or expanded clay) then a layer of well loosened soil (preferably pouring the purchased special mixture) and let it warm up during the day.

How to plant a indoor flower?

The process of seating hibiscus is almost the same as in the transplant. An important caveat - to separate the plant must be careful not to damage the healthy roots. After dividing, leave in the open air, so that the roots will dry a little. Next, put in the ground.

Further care

The first month to water hibiscus is moderately through the pan.
Do not allow drying.
It should hide the crown from direct sunlight.
The pot should stand in a dimly lit place for 3 days.
No drafts.

What to do if the plant does not take root or fades?

A sluggish plant needs access to light and moisture.
The damaged Chinese rose will have to be replanted again, adding vermiculite to the soil. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully cut off the rotten roots with a sterilized knife, and treat with a solution of potassium permanganate.
The cause may be pests. Carefully inspect the plant.

Adaptation of the Chinese rose to a new place occurs within 7-10 days. If after a time the plant is sluggish, sheds leaves or turns yellow, you should pay attention to the conditions of detention.

Knowing all about the intricacies of planting and planting Chinese roses, you can safely decorate your house and garden with a beautiful tropical plant that will delight you with a large number of inflorescences and healthy appearance for years.
