Key Tips for Success: The exotic Hibiscus has large, single or double flowers that last only a day. They may be removed from the plant and used for decoration - in the hair, for example. They will stay fresh for their usual length of time even with out water. Bud drop can be a problem caused by low light, cold temperatures, overheating or drying out. Take extra care with watering so plants will never wilt. |
