How to prepare soil for growing hibiscus in a tub/pot in kolkata?

I have a 20+ year old potted hibiscus, (pruned to grow as a tree). When I first potted it, I used a pot about twice the size of it's root ball, filled the bottom with several inches of gravel and then used a high quality potting soil mix. I have to re-pot it every few years and follow the same procedure each time. I also prune it every fall when I bring it in from the patio...(remember they are not winter hardy unless you have the "Rose of Sharon" variety. Mine is huge and very happy living in Miracle grow potting soil. Good luck
