Hibiscus minor can be planted by potting or planting, of course, the two planting methods are not the same in winter. Generally speaking, the small Hibiscus planted in the flowerpot is more afraid of freezing than that in the open air. After winter, it is better to move it into the room and place it in the sunny place, so as to have a safe winter. It can be moved into the inner side of the outdoor balcony to prevent frostbite of the branches and leaves caused by frost and snow. It is better to use plastic film to cover the outdoor planting in winter. Plastic film has excellent heat preservation and antifreeze effect, which is beneficial to the safety of Hibiscus.

2. Ensure reasonable illumination.

Hibiscus is a kind of flower that likes sunshine and warmth. It must have a high demand for sunshine. In winter, when the temperature is low, the light becomes the most important factor to help Hibiscus to survive. Therefore, in the winter maintenance process, put the Hibiscus in a place where it can be exposed to the sun, and move the Hibiscus in time, so that all sides of the hibiscus can be exposed to light, to prevent the long-term maintenance of a direction of light that leads to the growth deviation of the hibiscus.

3. Prune the plant.

In order to make the hibiscus better winter, flower friends had better prune the Hibiscus in the late autumn season, cut the long branches, dead branches, diseased branches and residual branches short or directly, so as to prevent the hibiscus from consuming too much nutrients in winter and affecting the growth and development of the second year.

4. Reasonable water supply

Water content is an essential factor for the growth of Hibiscus. However, in winter, hibiscus will enter the dormancy period. At this time, what we should not do is to water a large amount of water, but a small amount of water or simply stop. If you are not sure about not watering, you can control the water properly and moisten it slightly.
