General Info

The Hibiscus will thrive in a spot will all day full sun

A south-facing window is said to be an ideal position for this variety

Keeping a high light level is crucial to the health of the tree, supplementing with a grow light can be necessary during the winter season




Watering

Holly will want to be regularly thoroughly watered, as it is not drought tolerant

Providing increased humidity will aid growth and flower production, a humidity tray is the best way to do so

Liquid fertilizer can be applied weekly during the growing season

Planting in a high draining soil will help to avoid root rot


Light Requirements

Holly will tolerate sun and shade, but will like to be placed somewhere with semi-shade especially during the summer

Placement where the tree has morning or afternoon sun, but avoiding peak afternoon light will lower the risk of the foliage burning

Providing high light will help to increase foliage density
