Well prepared
In order for the implementation to be successful, good preparation is important. First of all, the new location must be carefully selected. You should proceed according to the following questions:
- Is the new location sunny and sheltered from the wind?
- How much space does the shrub need?
- Can the hibiscus settle here permanently?
To move the hibiscus, some aids are necessary that you should have ready beforehand. You need:
- spade
- Digging fork or rake
- Water bucket
- Garden shears or loppers
- Compost or bark mulch
- possibly wheelbarrows for transport.

Move step-by-step
- First the new planting hole is dug. This should be about 50cm deep and at least 50cm wide so that the roots have enough space. In addition, you loosen up the soil in the pit well.
- If you haven't cut the hibiscus back this year, you can shorten the shoots by about a third and remove sick, withered and scruffy branches.
- The hibiscus will now dig up generously. Be careful not to damage any roots if possible.
- Carefully remove the hibiscus and carry or wheelbarrow it to the new planting site.
- Before planting, you should water the planting hole well again.
- Now you can carefully insert the bush and fill the hole with the excavated material. In between you should water the earth again and again.
- Finally, you step on the earth, pour the hibiscus again and cover the ground with bark mulch or compost.
For good growth
So that the hibiscus grows well, you have to water it regularly, especially when it is dry, fertilize it if necessary and provide it with winter protection. With a little patience you can then enjoy the most beautiful flowers.
Tips & Tricks
A good time to move the hibiscus is in spring. The annual pruning can take place from around the end of March and the shrub has enough time to grow until winter.
