Hibiscus moscheutos, commonly known as the swamp rose mallow, is a perennial plant in the Malvaceae family. Native to wetlands and riverbanks in the eastern United States, it is known for its large, showy flowers that can be white, pink, or red. The plant thrives in temperate climates and can grow up to 2 meters tall. It has a dormancy period during the winter months.
Hibiscus moscheutos requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil consistently wet. During its dormancy period in winter, reduce watering but do not let the soil dry out completely.
تربة
This plant prefers loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be well-draining but kept consistently moist. Adding compost or peat moss can improve soil quality and moisture retention.
سماد
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormancy period.
إعادة السمعة
Repot Hibiscus moscheutos every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot in early spring before the growing season begins.
الانتشار
Propagate Hibiscus moscheutos through seeds or stem cuttings. For stem cuttings, take a 6-inch cutting from a healthy plant in late spring or early summer. Plant the cutting in moist soil and keep it in a warm, bright location until roots develop.
تشذيب
Prune the plant in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and cut back the plant to encourage bushier growth. Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and promotes flowering.
تسمم
Hibiscus moscheutos is not toxic to pets or humans. All parts of the plant are considered safe, making it a good choice for gardens with children and pets.
إضافي
To encourage more blooms, deadhead spent flowers regularly. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Hibiscus moscheutos is also attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.
