food for Hibiscus

12 years ago

This is so frustrating. I have been on Yes, Yahoo,etc asking about hibiscus food. They send you link after link with no answer. Some are even trying to sell you the answers about their own food. Just please, what is a good fertilizer for my one Hibiscus that comes up every year. Pat

I use Carl Pool Hibiscus food that I bought at the local Hibiscus Society's Annual Show. I am linking that Amazon site with this for info only. With shipping it is too costly.

However, I am planning to switchover to a water soluble type to spray feed.

I want to do supplementary sprays every weekly with some type of seaweed and growth enzymes. Remember, these are just for example that I am looking at. There are many products in the market that you can buy for similar results.

You can also look at HiddenValleyHibiscus for more details of feeding Hibiscus.

Good luck.
