can anybody suggest me how to grow hibiscus plants?although 6 out of 10 plants have bloomed in past few weeks,they often open and close on a daily basis.after the buds have bloomed for a while,they eventually shrivel up and die.is it normal?do these flowers need a lot of sun or moderate shade? and how often should i water them?
and do they need any vine or bush to attach them in order to grow better? i just want to get colorful flowers that would make my garden look good.

any suggestions how to grow these flowers?please help me.

Yes, it's normal for the flowers to shrivel up and die. Then a large seed pod will form. Hibiscus bloom in late July to September, and like full to partial sun.

I just buy one and all gesw perfectly ok. I buy it on start of September I think and now we are on end of October and I got my first flower.. so beautiful!happy I just put it in front of my patio window,I do think it the right light for this kind of plant. I think this plant need a lot of sun, just moderate.. I put water on 2 weeks and atomize their leaves each week. Surely, you need to have a good ground too and pot for this plant.. it may help!
