I bought a beautiful Hibiscus from Wal-Mart the other day. I'm going to
leave it in the container (may eventually put it in a larger container). How
do you care for Hibiscus? I see some of the flowers have closed up....does
that mean those are finished blooming and will fall off? I've never had a
plant like this and don't know the first thing about caring for it Do I
feed it?

The blooms of a few varieties will last 2 or 3 days even during the
summer, but one day is typical for most. Depending on your location,
they may prefer some shade during part of the day or they'll nearly stop
blooming during the hottest part of the summer -- especially here in
Florida.
