I'm back with another installment on potted hibiscus! Last time, I shared with you five EASY tips to caring for your potted hibiscus. Today, I am sharing with you a step by step guide on how to pot it. Potting a hibiscus is just as important as how you care for it! As a scientist, I have experimented and researched for the past eight years how these plants thrive best! So, these are my five simple steps on how you need to pot your beautiful hibiscus! Feel free to follow my blog so you can access more of these easy tips I share.
These five simple steps are easy for anyone to follow. You don't have to know anything about gardening!
Step 1: Choose a pot that is at least triple the size of your plant.
Step 2: Proper drainage is very important for a water loving hibiscus!
For the rest of the detailed steps visit my blog below! Let me know if you have any questions too.

Alexis @ Chemistry Cachet on Jun 16, 2015Yes absolutely! Anything to keep it lighter :) I use wood pieces too. I'm a chemist so I like to use biodegradable if I can. I listed some winter tips on my blog post, I know many people live in colder climates. I winter mine inside by a window with sunlight & light watering. Although in Texas, our big weather killer is the heat! Hoping we don't have too bad of a summer this year though. Thanks for reading!

Cathy Conran-Warmels on May 16, 2016I live in Michigan in zone 5. can I leave my hibiscus in a pot outside if it's planted like this or do I move it into the garage for the winter.

Alexis @ Chemistry Cachet on May 17, 2016@Cathy Conran-Warmels You will definitely want to move it in the garage in the winter. I always move mine there also in the winter. They don't do well during heavy freezes. In Texas, we don't get much of that, but I still play it safe. This past winter, I moved all my large ones into the garage. They went dormant after awhile and I brought them out again in early spring. The come back to life very quick in the sunshine with plenty of water :)
