Caring for hibiscus indoors

[Thompson]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone grew hibiscus indoors or kept them in their chameleons cage? My home depot has a few and I was going to buy one for my chameleon. Thanks in advance

You usually need a plant light. I can't remember the range though... A search is in order.

Yes, I do use hibiscus in my chameleon's enclosures.
I would suggest buying a plant light in addition to your usual UVB light + heat lamp for your chameleon.
I used this one:

I used organic soil and introduced earthworms/ night crawlers into the soil to help with aeration. The worm's casting can also act as organic fertilizers.

Thanks for the help I'll buy a plant light when I get the hibiscus.
