How to Harvest Roselle Hibiscus
After the beautiful roselle bloom fades, the flower withers and falls off. Between 7-10 days after blooming is the best time to pick the calyces. It is time to harvest when the pointy red calyx around the seed pod is just over an inch wide. The seed pod is fully grown but still tender. To avoid damage to the branch it’s best to remove the calyx with clippers. Harvesting roselle calyces early and often increases the overall yield of the plant.
