How can I make sure my indoor, tropical hibiscus plant gets enough light through the winter?
Answer
You can provide your hibiscus with artificial lighting from a standard florescent tube light, hung about 5 feet above it. Put the light on a timer and have it on 16 hours per day. The plant should develop leaves that are deep green and healthy as a result. They should also produce flowers every week or so. Depending upon your climate, you should then be able to move the plant outdoors come summer.
