How Do You Bring A Hibiscus Plant Indoors?
The large tropical colors of the hibiscus flowers are a delight in any garden, but unless you live somewhere very warm it is unlikely your hibiscus will be able to survive a winter outside. With a little preparation and care you can bring your hibiscus inside over the winter and place them outside again when the weather warms up in the spring. Planting your hibiscus in pots is best if you plan to bring them in over the winter. You can even sink the pots in the ground all summer so that it looks like a hibiscus planted in the garden. Come winter, dig the dirt away and your plant is ready for the cold season. Pay attention to the weather forecast when winter is approaching. Before the first night when temperatures are 40 degrees F or below you have to bring your hibiscus inside. Cut back the foliage on your hibiscus to 4 or 5 inches from the primary stalk. Wintering indoors is a chance for the plant to go dormant and rest until spring, relieving it of foliage and buds will encourage this
