One more question today. There is one spot on my Rain Drop plant that has turned red where the bark is forming on the main branch. Is this anything that I need to worry about?

Paul, that is a bit unusual but does not appear to be anything to worry about. If the stems turn dark - black, purple, or brown - that is bad. Hibiscus exude different wax-like substances for reasons unknown but I've never seen this followed by a problem. Let us know how yours does.

Ok, I will. Thanks Charlie! I just thought it looked a little strange.
