Even over watering is a problem as the plant attracts fungus and root rot sometimes. Soil quality must be well draining.
When attacked by red bugs the plant begins dropping leaves and white aphids attack the tips of healthy stems and flowering buds. Try to trim the edges and infected leaves and give the plant a thorough wash regularly.
Finally an important tip for growing hibiscus flowering plants is that they require full sunlight. But the flowers stay for longer on the plant when they are grown in partial shade. So judiciously select the right place for this beauty and enjoy the huge blooms!

I have personally never used hibiscus for medicinal or beauty or hair care, and maybe never will, so use these formulas at your own risk. Adding these plants for even a single reason is enough, its sheer beauty, for the huge colorful conspicuous flowers. As for the showy flowers , its great, enjoy the show!
