🌿 Care Instructions:

☀️ Light:

Prefers full sun, ideally receiving 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Tolerates partial shade, although flowering is generally better in sunny locations.

💧 Watering:

Water regularly during the establishment stage to encourage healthy root development. Sea Hibiscus prefers moderately moist soil, particularly during active growth and hot summer periods.

Once established, it can tolerate short dry periods but benefits from deep, consistent watering to maintain healthy foliage. Avoid prolonged waterlogging in poorly drained containers.

🪴 Soil:

Adapts to various soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Prefers well-draining, organic-rich soil and tolerates coastal soil conditions and some salinity.

🌡️ Temperature:

Thrives in warm tropical and subtropical climates. It tolerates high temperatures when adequate moisture is available but is sensitive to frost and severe cold. Protect young trees during colder periods.

🍃 Humidity:

Prefers moderate to high humidity and adapts particularly well to coastal environments. In very dry conditions, proper irrigation and organic mulch can help reduce moisture loss.

🌱 Fertilizing:

Apply a balanced fertilizer or well-decomposed organic compost during the growing season as needed, following soil requirements and product instructions. Avoid excessive fertilization.

✂️ Pruning:

Responds well to pruning and can be shaped to maintain a balanced, attractive canopy. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and perform structural pruning during early growth when necessary.

🌼 Flowering:

Sea Hibiscus produces attractive yellow flowers with dark red centers. As the flowers age, their color gradually changes to orange or reddish shades before fading.

Flowering may occur repeatedly during warm growing periods, depending on local climate, tree maturity, and care.

🌿 Growth Habit:

Develops a naturally branching structure and a broad canopy as it matures. It remains evergreen in suitable tropical conditions but may lose some leaves during cold weather or environmental stress.

📏 Product Dimensions:

• Tree Height: 300 cm.
• Tree Width: 50 cm.
• Pot Height: 30 cm.

⚠️ Planting Guidelines:

Sea Hibiscus requires adequate space for canopy and root development as it matures. Plant at an appropriate distance from buildings, pathways, and underground utilities.

Consider seasonal flower and leaf drop when selecting a planting location near entrances or seating areas. Provide sufficient irrigation during periods of extreme heat.

📌 Please Note:

Tree size, foliage density, canopy shape, and flower coloration may naturally vary from the images shown due to differences in growth stages, seasonal changes, and individual growing conditions.

The tree may be supplied without flowers depending on the season. Healthy growth and flowering depend on sunlight exposure, temperature, watering, soil conditions, and proper care.
