    The only thing that I could really think of would be a mild winter. If your area is growing quite a bit in size, then the influx of people and building may warm temperature over time in your microclimate. It isn't going to harm the shrub, though.

    The fact that the stems have leaves means they have roots, so you don't need the bag anymore. Give it as much light as you can, a south or west window is best. They like humidity so you can put the container on a tray of pebbles and keep water in it. The pot should not rest below the pebbles or it will absorb the water and may get root rot.

    Here is info about a pebble tray (but ignore the photo; it is not a pebble tray).

    We don't make vendor or product recommendations but I would be skeptical here. I have never seen tropical or hardy hibiscus in these color combinations. When I search for multicolor hibiscus online, no reputable company comes up, only individuals selling "rare" flowers on Amazon, eBay or Etsy.

    Plus, they have the caution to read the description carefully before ordering. If you want to try it, I suggest only ordering one or two and see if you get what you ordered. The thing is you won't know for several months.

    Even though these say they are perennial, I don't believe they are hardy hibiscus. Tropical hibiscus are "perennial" in zone 10.

    Rejuvenation pruning should not kill it. Wait till spring to prune, though. Here is more:
