Basic rules for indoor hibiscus care: To ensure your plant regularly delights you with lush blooms, provide it with comfortable conditions: Lighting: Maximum bright but diffused light (southern or eastern windows). Hibiscus will not bloom if there is insufficient light. Watering: Generously in summer after the top layer of soil dries out, moderate in winter. Avoid stagnant water in the pan. Humidity: Requires regular misting of the leaves, especially during the heating season.
