Is it possible to grow a hibiscus plant indoors? I love these flowers but I'm in Missouri and the winters won't let me plant them outdoors.
Hibiscus indoors?
make your husband but you these flowers and plants them then dig them up before the first frost then put them indoors for you that way all you have to do is sit back and enjoy their beauty as well as yours
Reply:I would assume that you are asking about tropical hibiscus....if that is this case you can bring them inside before the first frost in your area. A sunny warm spot would be best, however, all plants go through a "rest period" as part of there natural cycle. You would need to water less frequently and do not fertilize or feed the plant during the winter months. Also, to help acclimatize your plant to its new surroundings you may want to take it from its spot outdoors and move it into a garage or basement for a few days so it can adjust to the new environment. The converse would be true before you put it back outside. Any sudden change in environment can stress the plant and force it to drop its leaves.
There are also "hardy hibiscuses" or althea as it is sometimes called that would be hardy all year planted outside in your area.
Reply:it is better to keep them indoors in winters near your glass window . by doing so it will get enough heat and light and grow more better than ever.
Reply:I live in Oklahoma our winters aren't as bad as yours but i plant my hibiscus in a pot so that i may bring them in before the freeze. my plants live indoors in the winter and back outside arranged nicely in the spring thru fall. So to answer your question yes they will live great indoors. I hope this helps........Have a great day!
