Worawari or spider hibiscus (Hibiscus schizopetalus) is a plant species in Malvaceae, upright shrubs, 2-4 m tall and generally very similar to Hibiscus rosa-sinensis but smaller and brighter leaves, usually found in the yard to decorate corners or as a fence component.
H. schizopetalus has generally hung upper branches. Single leaf, stemmed, ovoid, jagged edges, pointed tip and base, 2-12 cm long, 1-7.5 cm wide and crammed at the tip of a branch.
Spider hibiscus has a very distinctive flower, always hanging down because the stem length is 8-16 cm, the tip of the ginofor turns upward, the bright red petals with a darker base, the stamens tube has a length of 8-9 cm, the edges are eavesdropped so that looks like it's torn up.
This species has not been widely cultivated and engineered so that the color of the petal is always red with several variations of white lines. These plants rarely produce fruit and seeds, propagation is more often done using cuttings or grafting.
