The Roselle in the Yard - Gardening and Hobby 64

Saturday, January 4, 2025
Roselle with scientific name Hibiscus sabdariffa comes from warm regions and grow well in the tropical and subtropical temperatures.

Since our city has warm climate, we may find some of the Roselle flowers in our neighborhood areas.

As you might know that the plants have calyces which are red (light part) parts, not fruit of flowers. 

I don't know the benefits of calyces or never aware whoever consumed them in our neighborhood but reported by Southern University A&M College systems (2024, Roselle (Hibiscus Sabdariffa): A Functional Food) that Calyces could be used as jams, tea (beverages) and other purposes.

  1. According to the Southern University A&M College systems (2024), calyces can be transformed into jams, teas (beverages), and many other delightful products. These calyces are not only flavorful but also packed with numerous health benefits. Roselle tea, for instance, is known for its refreshing taste and high antioxidant content. It can help lower blood pressure, improve digestion, and boost the immune system

  9. Oh wow this very cool, I have never seen this plant/flower before. I am really struggling with one my plants. I had one palm plant that died because the soil was awful and stayed wet. I then got a new one and bought expensive soil made just for palm plants with good drainage and now this one is dying too! I am only watering it every 2 weeks. Though it did get direct sun for about 45 mins a day for about 6 weeks so maybe that did it. I am getting frustrated LOL.
