Hibiscus – Container Grown

I just bought my first hibiscus plant a couple of weeks ago. I brought it home and transplanted it into a larger container. It sits outside, in full sun most of the day, but is sheltered from strong winds. It is beginning to get yellow leaves at the bottom. What’s going on? Too much, too little water? Still adjusting to the transplant? I just don’t want to wait too late to make a change.
