FAQ About Indoor Plant-Based Dye Sources
How can I use hibiscus to create a natural dye at home?
First, gather hibiscus flowers grown indoors. Remove the petals and submerge them in boiling water for approximately 30 minutes to release the dye. Strain the petals out and use the liquid as a red to purple dye for fabrics. It's effective to use a mordant, such as alum, to enhance the dye's adherence to fabrics.
