Hibiscus is an "old" and incredibly popular plant throughout the ages. We are used to seeing it everywhere: in hospitals and clinics, in kindergartens and at the post office, in offices and in the corridors of administrative institutions ... This plant fascinates us with bright flowers and always arouses admiration.

For me, the first acquaintance with hibiscus took place in a distant happy childhood. There were always many flowers in my grandmother's house, and among all of them, a plant with green shiny leaves, growing in a small wooden tub, stood out in particular. With bated breath, I watched the buds, which every day grew more and more and increased. When a simple red flower opened, it seemed to me like fabulous magic.

Hibiscus (Hibiscus) - a genus of the Malvaceae family (Malvaceae), has about 300 species of plants that grow for the most part in tropical regions South- East Asia and on the islands Pacific Ocean. These are annuals and perennial herbs, deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees, often reaching two or three meters in height. The flowers of most species are large, graceful, with brightly colored corollas. The fruit is in the form of a box, which breaks up into 5 valves, contains many seeds, dressed in fluff or fibers, or smooth. On the territory of Russia there are two species: Syrian hibiscus (H. syriacus) - growing in the Transcaucasus, and ternate or northern hibiscus (H. trionum syn. H. ternatus) - common from southern Ukraine to Western Europe. Since the beginning of the 18th century, this plant has become an indispensable inhabitant of all European botanical gardens.

“Flower of love” and hibiscus tea…

The hibiscus flower is called the "flower of love" and the "flower beautiful women". It is a symbol of the island of Haiti, and in India, flowers are woven into the wedding wreath of the bride. In the East, hibiscus is called the "Sudanese rose". Hibiscus tea is prepared from dried flower petals, which has a pleasant taste, is superbly refreshing in the heat and contains a large number of vitamin C. Young leaves and shoots are eaten as vegetable dishes.

The flowers are used to make black hair dye and purple hair dye. Food Industry. In medicine, leaves and flowers are used, ground into a homogeneous mass, which helps with malignant tumors, and the pulp from the flowers is used to treat carbuncles and ulcers of malignant origin.

The most common

Currently, there are about 500 garden forms of hibiscus in the world and many hybrid varieties. In culture, the most commonly grown: Syrian hibiscus (H. syriacus) and Chinese hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis).

Syrian hibiscus (H. syriacus) - grows in China and India. This is a perennial deciduous tree, with a bright green leaves and flowers of various colors. Grows well in moderately moist loamy soil. Lime soil is undesirable for him. It grows quite slowly, blooms and bears fruit from the age of three or four. The fruit is a multi-seeded capsule. Syrian hibiscus is winter-hardy, withstands a short-term drop in temperature to -20 °C. It easily tolerates transplanting and pruning, but does not need strong pruning - in the spring they only shorten too long ones and only remove old branches. Propagated by cuttings, layering, grafting, seeds. In culture, it is used for solitary and group plantings, creating hedges and alleys.

Hibiscus Chinese (H. rosa-sinensis) - grows in East Asia and the Pacific Islands. It is an evergreen shrub with dark green glossy leaves. It blooms with bright red single or double flowers. Valued for fast growth and unpretentiousness in content.

Hibiscus Chinese - the most common and has long been cultivated in room culture. It is this species that is popularly called the "Chinese rose". It has a variegated form ‘Cooperi’ with elongated green leaves adorned with white and pink strokes, blooming with single red flowers.

Modern hybrid varieties

There are hundreds of different hybrid varieties of hibiscus in the world, the progenitors of which are Chinese rose(H. rosa-sinensis), dissected hibiscus (H. schisopetalus), variable hibiscus (H. mutabilis), etc.

Hybrid varieties can be called unsurpassed leaders, since only they have an incredible brightness of colors and an indescribable combination of colors and shades in a flower: white, yellow, pink, salmon, orange, brown, red, lilac, blue, purple ... The middle of the flower can be decorated "Eye" of contrasting color. And delicate petals - with veins, strokes, spraying of a different shade, or completely dotted with an indescribable pattern of strokes and dashes of a different color. The edges of the petals are wavy or fringed, and a border of one or even several flowers can pass along them.

An exotic look is given to hibiscus flowers and numerous filaments of golden stamens, fused into a long tube extending far from the petals. Flowers, depending on the variety, can be miniature - almost 5 cm - and giant, reaching incredible sizes - from 20 to 25 cm in diameter! Depending on the variety, the flowers can be double, semi-double or single. The life span of a flower is from one to four days and depends on the conditions of detention. If the apartment is cool and sunny, the flower will last longer. By the way, hibiscus also have chameleon varieties. Their flowers bloom one color, and after a few hours it changes to another.

Some varieties have flowers with a pleasant delicate aroma, reminiscent of the smell of fruit caramel. There may be undersized and compact varieties with medium-sized and large leaves.

Hibiscus are unpretentious. They can be successfully grown in any apartment. A well-lit place is suitable for them, but it is necessary to shade from direct and midday hot sunlight. To do this, you can use blinds on the windows or hang special sun blinds. Plants tolerate partial shade well, but abundant flowering still comes in bright light. The first buds on the plant appear in March. The successive flowers will adorn the crown of leaves until late autumn.

In summer, it is advisable to take out hibiscus to the garden, balcony or terrace. Maximum temperature for their maintenance in summer from +35 to +40 °С.

If you have the opportunity, create a dormant period for your hibiscus in winter.

Starting in late autumn, reduce watering little by little. During the wintering period, the plants do not fertilize. Minimum temperature for the maintenance of hybrid hibiscus at this time should be from +12 °С to +15 °С. This will encourage the formation of flower buds. At a lower temperature, hibiscus growth stops, leaves turn yellow and roots rot.

Watering is the main condition for successful growth

Timely watering is one of the main conditions good growth and development of your plant. Frequent and prolonged overdrying of an earthy coma can lead to yellowing and falling of the leaves, and sometimes to the death of the plant. If you accidentally “dried” the plant and its leaves lost turgor, became soft and hung, then pour a little earthen ball warm water and spray the leaves. After 20-30 minutes, water abundantly so that the earthen lump is completely saturated with water.

Like most plants, hibiscus is also harmed by waterlogging of the soil, so they need to be watered as the earthen coma dries up. withered upper layer soil in a pot is not yet an indication that the plant needs to be watered, as the soil inside may remain wet. Soil moisture can be checked by dipping your finger a few inches into the soil. If you have heavily waterlogged the ground, place the pot on several layers of paper, and the water will gradually drain and be absorbed into it.

Due to the evaporation of water through the leaves, the temperature of the plants decreases, and this is especially important if they are overheated on hot days. Along with watering, it is necessary to use spraying plants and "bathing" them in the shower. The water will wash the dust off the leaves and improve the overall health of the plants. During the summer active growth they need more water than during the dormant period. Spraying hibiscus is necessary in the spring and summer during the heat. Do not spray plants in direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf burn. Do it early in the morning or late in the evening.

After spraying or showering, pay attention to the soil in the pots. She shouldn't sag. To prevent this from happening, its surface before water procedures cover plastic bag, which will prevent possible waterlogging and, as a result, damage to the root system and the plant itself various diseases arising subsequently because of this.

With systematic spraying, shoots and leaves grow and develop faster.

AT winter period when the air in the room due to work central heating especially dry, to maintain high humidity be sure to spray the plants with warm water and the air around them several times a day.

In winter, hibiscus water less often than in summer, as lighting and daylight hours are reduced. Of course, winter watering depends on the conditions of detention, but in any case, it should be moderate. The earth ball should not be wet, but slightly damp. Watering the plants is also reduced after pruning.

About an hour after watering, it is recommended to loosen the topsoil. This promotes aeration of the soil, which is necessary for the respiration of the roots. In order not to damage the roots, the earth is loosened no deeper than 1-2 cm and only at the walls of the pot.

top dressing

A properly formulated potting mix has all the nutrients needed for hibiscus growth. After a few months, the earth mixture is depleted, the plants need to be fed with organic and mineral fertilizers. In order to avoid a burn of the roots, first it is necessary to abundantly water the plant with clean, settled water, and only then pour it with fertilizers diluted in water. You should strictly adhere to the dosage indicated in the instructions. It is better to "underfeed" the plant somewhat than to get carried away and salt the soil. You can feed with fertilizers and with each watering, but at the same time, accordingly, greatly reduce its concentration. Hibiscus are very responsive to organic top dressing a weak solution of mullein (1:10) or a solution horse manure. Mineral fertilizers are fed regularly once a week, and organic fertilizers once a month.

Closer to autumn, you need to gradually reduce the amount of all dressings. And in winter, when the plants are at rest, they are not fed at all.

Do not use fertilizer for garden plants, as the calcium carbonates they contain can harm your hibiscus. When fertilizing, make sure that the solution does not fall on the flowers and leaves.

If you bought hibiscus...

Quarantine him immediately. And do not rush to transplant! Let the plant adapt. Carefully inspect the leaves, trunk, and ground for pests. Be sure to treat with an anti-tick preparation. It would be nice to completely dip it in such a solution. Then spill the earth with a solution of the Aktara preparation, which will protect against whiteflies and mealybugs.

If you "accidentally" overdried the earthen ball

... And the earth lags behind the walls of the pot, and water, when watering, runs down through the cracks and flows out into the drain hole without wetting the earthen lump - immediately immerse the pot with hibiscus in water until the earth is completely saturated.

Remember!


Abrupt transitions from excessive moistening of an earthen coma to its drying out are unacceptable, as this often leads to dropping flower buds and leaves.

P.S. Why isn't the hibiscus blooming?

If buds appear on the hibiscus, but they do not open or fall off, then the plant most likely does not have enough nutrients or moisture. Perhaps he is cold at too low an air temperature.

Often the lower leaves fall off, and the new ones turn yellow due to chlorosis. The reason may be increased content in water chlorine or calcium, lack of nitrogen or iron. There may be problems with the root system with abundant watering and low air temperature. Hibiscus does not do well in a hot room with dry air without regular spraying with clean water.

A perfectly healthy plant with a lush crown does not want to bloom if it is fattening, being overfed with nitrogen. Either he does not have enough light, moisture (during the period of active vegetation), or the hibiscus does not have conditions for rest (at low air temperatures).

They say that from everyone bad omens protects the magic phrase: “Everything has its time, this trouble is not for us!” .

hibiscus flower




The Chinese rose, or hibiscus, has received not the most pleasant nickname among the people. This plant is called the flower of death, and superstitious people attribute various mystical properties to it. But he does not always bring trouble to the house - some signs about the Chinese rose have a positive interpretation and portend a favorable turn of fate.

Why is the Chinese rose considered the flower of death?

In the people, the Chinese rose is considered a symbol of death. According to beliefs, if the plant begins to bloom, then this indicates that someone will die in the house. But this interpretation applies only to those cases when the hibiscus blooms unexpectedly - earlier than usual. There are other signs as well.

When the flowers of the Chinese rose wither

Many believe that if the flowering of a plant is associated with trouble, then its wilting becomes a good sign. But it's not. If you notice that the Chinese rose has begun to shed its leaves, then this is also not good - this behavior of the flower becomes a signal for the development of a serious illness in someone living in the house.

It is worth noting that often the disease proceeds quietly, without pronounced symptoms. And if you notice that the hibiscus suddenly began to wither, the omen advises you to pay attention to your well-being; further examination would be far from superfluous.

Also, superstitious people say that when a hibiscus loses its leaves, it doesn't get enough nutrition. And in order not to weaken, he begins to draw energy from the tenants of the apartment. The owners during this period may feel weakness, fatigue, unwillingness to do anything.

This belief has another interpretation - if the Chinese rose suddenly began to lose leaves - this suggests that it absorbed all the negativity present in the house, and in this way averted trouble from the owners.

What happens if the hibiscus blooms on time?

The flowering of the Chinese rose in the house is associated not only with death. But even when she gives flowers in a timely manner, the coming events can be both good and bad.

  • For unmarried women, this is a positive sign. According to popular beliefs, soon the girl will meet her soul mate.
  • If the plant bloomed in the house of a married woman, then this portends disagreements in the family and quarrels. Feelings between spouses will begin to fade, which can lead to separation.
  • Other beliefs say that the flowering of the Chinese rose brings happiness to the house. If the spouses have lived together long enough, then the old feelings will flare up with renewed vigor. Perhaps replenishment in the family. The fading flame of love will flare up again.

Is it possible to keep a Chinese rose at home?

As you can see, the signs about this plant are rather contradictory, which makes it quite difficult to determine whether it is possible to keep a Chinese rose at home. Consider a few more interpretations that will help clarify the situation.

  1. Chinese rose is called not only the flower of death. His other nickname is the husband. So he was christened for his ability to bring on a crown of celibacy. Signs say that this plant drives men out of the house in which it grows.
  2. AT family life spouses hibiscus is able to bring resentment and misunderstanding, and regardless of whether it blooms or not.
  3. This plant can affect the personal life of young girls in a negative way. They say that with his appearance in the house, the young lady will not be able to build a strong relationship. Acquaintances are quite possible, but they will not entail anything serious.
  4. Other signs speak of the positive impact of this flower on personal life. So, a girl who will carefully look after this controversial flower will gain good health and become very attractive to the opposite sex. The attention of men in this case is provided to her.
  5. If you still have not decided whether it is possible to keep a Chinese rose in an apartment, then you should pay attention to one more belief. It says that this flower has the ability to charge the atmosphere with positive and bring the energy of movement. This is due to the fact that given plant born under the sign of Leo (the element of Fire) and endowed with a strong masculine principle. Therefore, hibiscus loves bright light, where it draws energy from, and shares it with everyone around.
  6. Chinese rose becomes a source of creativity. If she is properly cared for, she will absorb the energy of laziness and transform it into a useful action. Therefore, according to folk beliefs, it is desirable to grow it for sluggish passive people who want to change their lives. Hibiscus will actively energize them and provoke them to new achievements.

There are a lot of negative signs about the Chinese rose, as its nicknames speak eloquently. However, at the same time, many plant owners live quite happily and enjoy beauty every day no matter what.

The main thing is not to pay attention to negative interpretations, because it is thoughts that create our reality. Remember this, and let nothing stop you from enjoying life to the fullest.

Cannot be kept at home, very common. It is connected primarily with signs and beliefs, and not with any specific facts. Some call this plant bloody: they say that it is fueled by negative energy and causes those living in the house unpleasant emotions. This is explained by the fact that hibiscus grows well in the corridors of hospitals and clinics, where many people suffer.


In fact, in hospitals, Chinese roses take root well, most likely because in spacious halls through big windows a lot of light penetrates, and hibiscus is a very light-loving plant.

There is also a belief that hibiscus begins to bloom beautifully when it anticipates someone's death. This myth is easy to refute: for many indoor plant lovers, the Chinese rose blooms for several years, and no one during this time. With proper care, flowers appear on the plant all year round.


Sensitive people call hibiscus a source of fear and longing, but most likely their feelings are associated with a strengthened opinion that the Chinese rose is dangerous.

There are also opposites. So, it is believed that hibiscus can attract love to the house: single women are often advised to grow this plant. The Chinese rose is responsible for passion and passionate relationships, it can return former spouses who have lived together for many years.

To believe or not to believe this is a person's choice. But there are studies that prove that signs work only because a person believes in them: growing hibiscus at home and being afraid of its insidiousness, you can constantly monitor misfortunes and blame the plant for every trouble.

Growing hibiscus at home

And from the point of view of botany and floriculture, growing hibiscus at home is a pleasure. This is very unpretentious plant, which grows well in the light and does not require frequent watering. And if you spray it every day and cut it periodically, then an amazingly beautiful tree will grow. The main advantage of the Chinese rose is its incredibly beautiful flowers. They do not last long - about two days, but with proper care, new buds appear constantly.

Hibiscus also has a few disadvantages: the plant can grow quite large, so you need to find a place to place it. These are quite expensive indoor flowers: even a small cutting can cost several hundred rubles. In addition, the Chinese rose is often exposed to pests.
