Varieties

• The Chinese and Red Leaf Hibiscus plants can be grown in containers and brought inside for the winter. Some species and cultivars attain heights of up to 8 feet, making them poor choices for indoor plants.
  
  

Indoors

• Hibiscus have high light requirements, so they may not perform well indoors, often turning yellow and failing to bloom. Hibiscus also need regular watering and fertilization, according to Iowa State University Extension. A moist environment and adequate light encourage healthy growth and flowering while being kept indoors.
  
  

Tips

• Place your hibiscus near a southern- or western-facing window for best results, according to Clemson Cooperative Extension. Otherwise, provide artificial lights to enhance the environment for your hibiscus.
