What is Malvaviscus?
Malvaviss is a flowering permanent plant in the Malvaceae family, which consists of more than 200 plants that include both hibiscus and servants. Ordinary names associated with Malvaviscus are Turkova caps, wax mallow, mazapan and sleeping hibiscus. Other common names are Texas Mallow, Mexican Apple and a bleeding heart. Malvaviscus, originally from Mexico and southern Texas, requires a wet and warm climate. The flowers are bright red and shaped as permanently closed hibiscus or flower with nodding. The petals overlap each other, they remain closed while the stick emerges from the center. It is said that it resembles a Turkish turban, leading to its alternative common name Turk's cap. The full scientific name is Malvaviss penduliflorus .
Malvaviss grows from 3 feet to 10 feet (about 1 m to 3 m) tall and commonly grows as wide as high. Flowers are from 2 inches to 3 inches (about 5 cm to 7.5 cm). The first flowers appear early in the spring and flowers continue to go through at the end of autumn. At the end of lEta and at the beginning of autumn, when the weather is hot, Malvaviscus flowers bloom in abundance. Deciduous leaves are about 8 inches (20 cm) long and in the shape of an oval. Fresh green leaves provide a rich contrast to bright red flowers.
soil requirements for malvaviscus are similar to Mallow and Hibiscus plants; Everything thrives in an aluminum, well drainage area. In the home garden, however, the sleeping hibiscus is adaptable and will grow in a number of soil conditions, including heavy clay if the soil is not permanently saturated. The pH of 6.8 to 7.2 is ideal, but will tolerate a series of soil conditions of ph.
Malvaviss thrives in hot, humid climate and in subtropical areas if winters remain free of frost. An area that gets full Sun is more convenient, but is tolerated partial than full shadow. Malvaviscus will withstand a period of drought, although there may be some loss of leaves. Pruning is done in winter when the plant is in a semi -lane state. Malvaviscus can be severely trimmed to maintain the size and shape without damaging the plant.
promotion is achieved from strains or seed chains. The seeds are collected in the autumn and are stored until the next spring, when they are planted either outside or in pots. The seeds should not be planted not deeper than 0.25 to 0.5 inches (about 1 cm). Rome stems easily roots and produce a new plant faster than the spread of seeds. Soft and semi-dowl cuttings are taken at the end of summer and roots inside in a humid environment.
