It’s no secret I love my garden, and that potted plants are my favorite addition to any outdoor area.
Before living in a house, we lived in apartments for seven years, but I still had a large potted garden on our patio. Anyone can have enjoy the beauty of a garden, even if your space is limited 🙂
A few weeks ago I shared with you my tutorial on Potting Hibiscus Step by Step. I thought I would update you on how the plant is doing!
It is thriving and blooms at least twice a day! I have grown hibiscus for eight years now, and it really makes a difference when you pot it correctly. I always follow the tips in the potting tutorial to make sure it has the best chance. I also make sure to follow these five easy tips for hibiscus care.
[Tweet “Potting Hibiscus correctly will allow it to thrive!”]
Here’s how it looked when it was first potted.
It has doubled in size and it is much healthier too!
And remember, even if you don’t have a yard, you can still enjoy a beautiful garden blooms in pots! Even though I have a yard, I still keep 4 or 5 Hibiscus in pots, they are perfect for summer ambiance!
What are your favorite potted plants?

This looks beautiful! I love those flowers and always forget about them! I did a big gardening fail and forgot to water my plants during a very hot and humid stretch here in SC where there was no rain… but I was able to bring everything back and lately we have been having evening storms so that helps! I love flowers and want to create a beautiful space with them- love all your tips- so helpful!

Oh I know, those hot humid summers are killer for plants! When we start getting those 100+ days in Texas, my plants really need some extra TLC. Next week I am sharing some summer tips for geraniums. They are much hardier than hibiscus when it comes to heat! Thanks so much Keri! Have a wonderful day!

I love container gardens. Our yard has lots of trees. I move the pots to different areas to catch more morning sun. That works extremely well. I don’t have hibiscus. Maybe one day soon. Great post.
Alexis says
Thanks Lolette! I do the same, move them around to get better areas of sunlight. I don’t have too many trees, but we have two large oak trees that give out a ton of shade in the afternoons! I think you should definitely try a hibiscus, they do well in Texas. Plus they are really pretty 🙂 Have a wonderful day!

Thanks Holly! I love how much ambiance it adds to the backyard!

Holly,
Would the hibiscus do well in Northern Florida in the winter? I think I would have to move the pot in when the nights get cool.
Thanks
Linda
Alexis says
Yes, they do fine in the winter! We get very cold winters here too, you just have to bring them inside. I have some winter tips on my five easy tips for hibiscus, but I will do another post closer to the season on that too! Have a great day!

Thanks Karen! They grow beautifully in pots, and in my area, they do even better than in the ground 🙂

This plant looks amazing. I have a potted hibiscus that I bring inside each winter as well, and it rewards me by gracing our NJ yard with a tropical ambiance each summer.

You shared this hibiscus post at my last Fabulous Friday! I love the color, so beautiful! I remember having a hibiscus and it was given to me by my sister.. It lasted a long time and my cat dug out the roots and it died! I was pretty bummed so I never leave my cats around my plants. Here is a link to my party this week! Hope to see you there! Maria
