Hibiscus

For value-for-money the indoor hibiscus is hard to beat, but they do need a lot of light and heat to be at their best. Each flower only lasts a few days but they keep coming and flower almost all-year-round. We have three in the conservatory, but they also travel around the house for short periods in the winter to brighten the place up, then back out in the light to let them recharge. They will be happy up to 50 degrees in the conservatory as long as they are watered regularly. I also give them a liquid tomato feed every month as well as some slow release fertiliser.

I love them but I haven't got enough light in my small windows, tried them and really do like them but they need quite a lot of daylight. Thank you for the picture I wish I could grow them. :O) ~They really are beautiful.
