Hibiscus sabdariffa requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, and ensure it has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.Cosecha
Hibiscus sabdariffa, commonly known as Roselle, is typically ready for harvest about 120 days after planting. The calyces, which are the main part harvested, should be picked when they are bright red and fleshy, usually just after the flowers have withered. Harvesting is done by hand, carefully cutting the calyces from the stem to avoid damaging the plant. It is important to harvest regularly to encourage continuous production. The calyces should be dried immediately after harvesting to prevent mold and preserve their quality.Suelo
