Water Hibiscus ovalifolius regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant is less active.

Prune Hibiscus ovalifolius in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a good shape and encourage vigorous flowering.

Lightly tip prune during the growing season to promote bushier growth.

Propagate Hibiscus ovalifolius from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and warm, ideally with bottom heat, until roots form.

Repot Hibiscus ovalifolius every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Choose a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in early spring before the active growing season begins.
