I have three plants that need to be moved this spring, but not sure when to do it. Now, or wait until there's growth? I don't want to interfere with the blooms, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Considering your Zone, now would be a perfect time before they start to actively grow.

Give them a little Root Stimulator and they will do fine

Thanks for the advise. I still haven't got them moved, but it's on my list of things to do this coming weekend!

Hi Katnan and welcome to ATP!

First, what kind of hibiscus are they? Tropical or hardy? Second what is your Hardiness Zone?

Hi Gloria - there are many different types of hibiscus so a 'one size fits all' care won't really work. We have a lot of very knowledgeable hibiscus growers here so pretty much all we need to help you out is to know what kind of hibiscus you have.

For example, I grow Tropical Hibiscus, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Red Leaf Hibiscus, Hibiscus acetosella, and Hardy Hibiscus, Hibiscus moscheutos to name a few. Each species have different requirements.

If you don't know what kind of hibiscus you have, a picture of the flower and leaves would help us determine what kind you have.

I suggest you start a new thread to get you started.

It would be best if you start another thread ... this one is about moving hibiscus.
