I'm thinking about getting a hummingbird feeder. How often should I replace the fluid?

During this time of the year until mid or late fall, the weather where I live gets extreme humidity and high temperatures (high 70s - high 80s and maybe low 90s).

It came to my attention that nectar spoils. How quickly will nectar spoil from these temperatures?

I'm thinking about using this product (feel free to recommend a product that's better for hummingbirds that's not really expensive):

You'd be better off getting some Hibiscus plants. Sugar water isn't really good for them and you would have to replace it everyday in that heat.

@Peaceful: I'd love to grow some flowers, but I don't have a backyard or front yard. I don't have any place to grow any plants (unless I get a pot, and grow the flowers in there). :/

@BlackBloodDemon: that makes it trickier then. Sorry to hear it.

@Peaceful: Yea, it sucks. The previous person that lived in my house was paralyzed, so they had to get rid of the backyard to add a downstairs bathroom and bedroom. I don't blame the person, mostly because that means less outside work for me (no mowing lawns or anything lol).
