Hibiscus..tree or bush.

[FAIL]

which do you prefer, it seems almost all the trees around here are almost dead, but the bushes look nice, but they aren't very tall. 2x2x4 cage. which to buy.

I've heard their hard to keep indoors?
Is that true?
Cuz if it's not I might wanna get one too
And I'd go with the bush

You could go with a bush and a plant stand to lift it.

PedroANDAshley, it's true they can be tough to keep indoors due to their light requirements. In order to get around this, some people rotate which plants they keep in their cage, while others get special bulbs to encourage growth. They are called 6500K bulbs if memory serves correctly.

They are 6500k Fluorescent linear bulbs. The label says "DAYLIGHT" on the side is where you will find the 6500k which is the highest they go. You want to get the T8 which is the round size as they are doing away with the T12s and others. If you go to Home Depot or Lowes you can get a dual light fixture and put your UVB and 6500K together.

Does the 6500k add heat to the enclosure?
Cuz that would be something to keep in mind

very little, not enough to matter unless it's an all glass viv.
