The main secret of a luxurious flowering hibiscus:
Temperatures in the range of 15 degrees, at which the land dries more slowly and therefore less need to water the plant. In such circumstances, Rosalie, a period of rest, and it lays the flower buds. In normal city apartments similar conditions were in the autumn, before the onset of the heating season.
Then you need to take a moment and give hibiscus relax, and with the inclusion of heat transfer it in the coldest area of the apartment (even low-light), and once again not be watered until the end of winter. In February, you can watch the growth hibiscus leaves - it testifies to its revival.
