Planting Instructions:

1. Choosing the Spot: Bali™ Hibiscus thrives in sunny to partially shaded spots. It prefers a place with at least six hours of sunlight daily.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by ensuring it's well-draining. You can add organic compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil.
3. Planting: Dig a hole that's twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Position the plant in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole, firming the soil gently around the plant.

Care Instructions:

1. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Maintain consistent watering, especially during hot, dry periods. However, avoid waterlogging as it can lead to root rot.
2. Feeding: Feed your Bali™ Hibiscus Tree Form with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in the early spring and then again in mid-summer. This will provide the nutrients needed for lush growth and prolific blooming.
3. Pruning: Prune the tree in early spring to maintain its shape and promote bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches as soon as they are noticed.
4. Pest and Disease Management: Watch out for common hibiscus pests like aphids, mealybugs, and whiteflies. Neem oil or insecticidal soap can help control these pests. Regularly check for signs of diseases such as leaf spots or blights and treat accordingly.
5. Winter Care: If you're in a region with colder winters, consider moving your potted Bali™ Hibiscus indoors. If it's planted in the ground, protect it with a layer of mulch around the base and consider using a frost blanket for added protection.
6. Repotting: If you've chosen to grow your hibiscus in a container, it will eventually outgrow its pot. Generally, repotting every 2-3 years in the spring is beneficial.

By following these instructions, your Bali™ Hibiscus Tree Form should thrive and provide you with a beautiful, tropical display year after year.
