Hi! What’s the best homemade fertiliser for a hibiscus?

@Peacefulhome While this might seem like an unlikely item to use as fertilizer, coffee grounds actually provide nitrogen and potassium to the hibiscus plant. Simply dry the used grounds on a newspaper in sunlight for two or three days then sprinkle it over the soil from the trunk continuing outward to where the branches end.
@KikisOasis I have done that before but since coffee is acidic I’m not sure hibiscus will like it. I will have to research that. Thanks!
@Peacefulhome There are two other DIY ways to fertilize your hibiscus. The first is to use eggshells that have been put through a food processor. Once they've been ground into a fine powder, simply sprinkle the powder over the soil. If you have a fish tank in your home, the dirty fish water can be used to water your plants. https://www.hunker.com/12002941/how-to-make-fertilizer-for-hibiscus
