Bring them inside the home for the colder months of the year.  When overwintering your hibiscus, make sure it is in a bright, sunny location and water as needed. Feed the plant with a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen to promote leaf growth and high in potassium to encourage flowering.  A good fertilizer will also contain trace elements such as iron to prevent chlorosis and manganese for greener leaves. InFlorida, give your first dose of fertilizer during the early spring and a final feeding at the beginning of November.  Prune the plant back as needed to keep its shape and compact look.
