I own a garden center and I wana order one that called night fire it purple pink red all in one flower in order to make this its a hybrid ... Regular hybiscus aren't hybrids red,yellow an so on do you this the hybrids won't make them sick

as far as I know yes. They are hard to keep indoors and you will need a grow light.

It is hard to make them bloom inside because they need sun light I was going too have two to rotate in and out.... And another question what about a plant light too make it bloom would that hurt my veiled

Also they should stay green inside it they just won't blown

There are many varities that affect the color of the blooms, but they are all the same species. If it's called a hibiscus and looks like one, then it should be safe. Make sure to treat for pesticides.

You could use LED spot-lights (say... 2 x 24w) as an option on the hybiscus to boost the light levels and try and keep it booming.

A 20 - 24w spot = about the light out-put of a 125w standard spotlight bulb, minus the heat.

In order to not over-light the Cham, have them on a timer like 4 hours a day min. and say ... 6 hours a day max.

Cheers.
