Sowing Instructions for Indian Climate: Yellow Mini Hibiscus (Hibiscus hirtus)
Best Sowing Time: Spring (February–March) and Monsoon (June–August). It thrives in the warm, tropical Indian weather.
Temperature for Germination: 22-32°C.
Soil: Light, well-draining soil. A mix of garden soil, river sand, and organic compost is ideal.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. At least 5 hours of direct sunlight ensures the most vibrant yellow blooms.
Watering: Moderate. Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Once established, it is quite resilient.
Spacing: 12-18 inches apart. Very suitable for medium pots or as a low-hedging border.
Germination Time: 15-30 days. Gently scratching the seed coat (scarification) or soaking in water for 12 hours helps speed up germination.
