Hibiscus is a tropical plant and can be grown easily. The most important aspect is to provide them enough light and warmth. They should be placed under direct sunlight for few hours daily. In winters you can use fluorescent bulbs placing them as close to the plants as possible. Also the soil for planting hibiscus should no be too wet.
