Hibiscus plants prefers sandy loam but not heavy soils. Growers can get many flowers with soil rich in organic matter. If these plants are grown in pots or containers, regular quality potting soil with added garden compost is an ideal base. To make this, composed cow manure, compost bark, and coarse peat should be mixed. Make sure the soil has well-drainage as these plants cannot tolerate water logging conditions. Make sure to have the soil in coarse stage rather than fine tilt. Hibiscus prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil. These plants thrive best in the soils with pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. If this crop is taken up as commercial on large scale, it is advised to go for soil testing. Any micro-nutrient deficiencies should be filled based on the test results.
