Potted Hibiscus Outdoors: Acclimation and Sun Needs

NW Arkansas gardener: two 4-ft potted hibiscus moved from indoors to covered east-facing patio (little direct sun). Asks sunlight needs.

Acclimation Protocol

1. Keep in shade outdoors for 10 days.
2. Then move to full direct sun.
3. Don't let dry out.

Ongoing Care

• Full sun = robust growth and blooms.
• Feed with balanced 12-12-12 fertilizer (available at DIY stores).

Gradual transition prevents sunburn; full sun drives flowering.
