Tropical hibiscus plants need to be kept in warm temperatures, and bloom best in temperatures ranging from 60 to 90 degrees. They like regular water, but may tolerate low levels of water. Ensure good drainage so water does not sit by the roots.  Water more in warm weather, and in colder weather, only water the plant if it looks dry. Hibiscus thrive with plant food.  If you are potting your flower, make sure the pot excellent drainage.  Spraying plants and under leaves with strong jets of water helps protect against aphid and whitefly infestations.
