There's something for everyone â from soccer and baseball for team-oriented kids, to tennis, fencing, karate, dancing, and swimming for kids who'd rather go solo. Don't be surprised if it takes a few tries â or a few seasons â to find the sport that's right for your child.
Hardy hibiscus also benefits from warm temperatures for bud growth; approximately 68 F is ideal. Unlike tropical hibiscus, the hardy varieties will survive freezing temperatures, although flowering will reduce. Provide a 12-inch layer of mulch to protect your hibiscus if there is a chance of frost in your microclimate.
Add an insecticidal soap to the hibiscus plant if you notice insects. Insects such as scale, mealy bug, white fly and aphid thrive on these types of plants. Prune the hibiscus in the early spring with pruning shears. Remove dead and diseased wood, branches that rub against each other and droopy foliage.
