Hi, I am HibisQs

I am also called the Hibiscus Rosa-sinensis, but people sometimes give me the name Althea bush or Chinese rose. I am known for my enchanting flowers with the most beautiful colours , which will make a party of the garden until deep into October. After that, you can put me in the living room.

From my introduction you can probably tell that I am native to a very large part of Asia. I may be a dazzling sight, but I do occur here in large numbers. In the wild I can grow very tall, up to 4 meters! I am also often used as a partition, and therefore often grow as a flower hedge. Breathtaking, if I do say so myself.

What do I like?

I like to be watered regularly, as I can be quite a drinker. I also like to be given some fertilizer twice a month. Outside the flowering season, I need less water and no fertilizer.

Adopt Rainforest

Plantanious works together with the Work with Nature foundation. Our tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rapid pace and an enormous biodiversity is being lost along with the trees. If it were up to us, the jaguar would soon walk around again in the rainforest in Costa Rica protected by 'Adopt Rainforest'! The place where many of our special plants originate. In order to make an important contribution to the goal of the foundation - to protect 2,000 hectares of rainforest in the next ten years - we donate part of our turnover to protect part of the tropical rainforest. To achieve their goal, the foundation puts money into protection, conservation, reforestation, education and research.
