Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its unique variegation. Place it near a south or west-facing window where it can receive plenty of natural light without being scorched by direct sun rays.
No, the Variegated Hibiscus is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the pot. If the soil feels dry to the touch, it is time to water; if it is still damp, wait a few more days.
We recommend waiting. The plant needs an acclimation period to adjust to your home's specific environment before you attempt to move it into a new container.
Keep your plant in a room where temperatures stay between 65°F and 85°F. Avoid placing it near drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or heaters, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the foliage.
