Hibiscus, Health

I have two hibiscus plants in pots. One has done reasonably well over the summer, the other has barely survived. They both now have yellow leaves and the poorer one is losing them. They are both however producing ne growth, how can I ensure they they flourish better?

Hibiscus require, near constant, feeding in container. This will be the primary reason for leaf drop. They won't tolerate being overwatered, either. Have care to let them dry out, thoroughly, down to about 2 or 3 inches between watering.
