		HVH Recommended Fertilizers Hibiscus need regular nutrition. Remember, most potting mixes do not contain any food for plants, the mix is meant to hold water and fertilizer and provide a material for the roots to anchor to. It is up to us to provide the right mix of soluble mineral salts (plant food) for the plant roots to absorb. Key benefits of regular nutrition - more flowers, bigger flowers, more colorful flowers, healthier plants, more robust plants, even insect resistance. Mixing water soluble fertilizer, such as the HVH Special Blend, into a bucket and applying to the hibiscus is the best way to feed them. However, not everyone can do this regularly. If you know that you are one of those who are likely to do it less often than is ideal there is a practical solution. Apply time release as the nutrition base and then ccontinue to use the water soluble when you can get to it. The time release will help the plants stay healthy and productive during the times they are not receiving the premium Special Blend.

		HVH Hibiscus Booster - 1.5 lb Hibiscus Booster is the name of our newest HVH recommended product. We search the world for great products that we then test on our own plants, both in the production greenhouse and at home. If they work and we can get them for you we then offer them on the online store. This year we tested a product that has long been touted as the "secret weapon" of those who win at hibiscus shows - potassium nitrate. We have always included far more potassium in the HVH recommended fertilizer than is found in commercial fertilizers, but this year we tried spraying and irrigating with additional high quality potassium nitrate and the results were indisputable - larger, more colorful flowers, even indoors. Varieties that usually become washed out in low winter light brightened up to almost summer levels shortly after they received the extra potassium. Seeing is believing! Try it for yourself. As always, we obtained the best quality material available to offer you, this time a greenhouse grade potassium nitrate made by Haifa Chemicals in Israel. It contains nitrate nitrogen and is chloride free, important considerations for hibiscus growers. More Info Hibiscus Booster 1.5 lb Container: $7.99 Quantity:

		New! Synergy 1-quart Synergy is an all organic, all vegan plant supplement made of fermented seaweed and plant extracts designed to enhance the plant's ability to absorb nutrients and to increase the overall vigor of the plant. From what we have seen in the last few months of testing, these claims seem to be validated. Our hibiscus that have been treated with Synergy on a regular basis show more and crisper new growth, shinier leaves, more resistance to stress, and overall signs of healthier, lusher looking plants. We are heading into the hot part of summer when hibiscus sometimes start to sag a bit, but the hibiscus we have treated with Synergy show fewer of these signs. Synergy is not a fertilizer and does not replace fertilizer. It is used as a supplement to your regular fertilizing program, the way humans add supplements to their regular food to increase nutrition and health. We have used it in conjunction with both our fertilizer and our hibiscus booster in our regular fertilizing program. One bottle of Synergy makes 150-300 gallons of irrigation water in normal usage.
