Question

Difference between hibiscus leaves and lotus leaves

Answer 1

Hibiscus leaves sprout from stems at different intervals. If observing a cutting, notice that every leaf is growing at a slightly different height on the stem from the others. As a rule, a healthy hibiscus plant produces three leafs at each growth site on a stem. The plant produces downward-bending leaves while growing, regardless of the amount of water it receives. Juvenile and mature hibiscus leaves look different because they change shape as they mature. This is dimorphic growth.
