Plant Features

Red Tiger Abutilon Plants produce bell-shaped orangey flowers with red veining that attracts a lot of attention. They can be grown in flower beds, containers, hanging baskets, and as houseplants. They bloom on new wood, so regular pruning keeps them flowering longer. Red Tiger blooms will slow during the hottest months but will produce again when it starts cooling down.

Planting Instructions:

- Plant in late spring or early summer after the last frost date

Soil Preparation:

- Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
- Prefers well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter

Watering Specifics:

- Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot weather

Fertilizer Type:

- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time
- Supplement with a water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season

Pruning and Training:

- Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushier growth and more blooms

Additional Pest Management:

- Watch for common pests like aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies
- Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat any infestations as needed

Blooming Indicators:

- Blooms continuously from late spring through fall, adding a delicate, lantern-like effect to the garden
- Flowers attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds

Light Requirements:

- Thrives in full sun to partial shade
- Can tolerate light shade, but flower production may decrease

Temperature Tolerance:

- Can tolerate high humidity, making it ideal for tropical gardens or indoor settings

- Coleus: Their vibrant, textured foliage contrasts beautifully with the delicate flowers of Abutilon

Red Tiger

First time ever buying from GrowJoy. I bought 2 of these plants because this plant is rare in south Texas. One came out to be like 5 inches tall with 2 inch leaves very healthy green and happy. The other one was about 2 1/2 inches tall with small leaves kind of wilted but after a week of indoor light it bounced back and is growing. Fast response service from the sender, highly recommended, and I plan on buy more of these!!

Red Tiger Abutilons Arrived in Great Shape

Your web site was easy to navigate and order from, the plants arrived quickly and safely, and I've re-potted them and put them in their new atrium location and they are looking happy and beautiful-!! Thank you so much - I looked for these at all of the local nurseries in my area and they do not carry this variety. I am so glad to have them now - thanks so much!!

Red Tiger Abuliton Plant

The Red Tiger Abutilon Plant arrived in perfect order! Beautifully packaged and in great condition. I have planted them out into pots and look forward to them surviving and giving my husband and I pleasure growing them. My only comment would be that your policy of 10 days return/full refund does not really allow for, in my case, a chance to see if the plants are healthy and will flourish - maybe you could consider 30 days for seedlings at least?? I will certainly use your service in the future

Red Tiger Abutilon Plant

I was very happy about the condition of my plants when they were delivered. I was also very impressed when contacted by GrowJoy asking if they could set up delivery after the 4th of July week so the plants wouldn't sit somewhere during the holiday and potentially die. I was impressed by their concern. I will definitely buy plants from GrowJoy in the future!
