I know lots of folks say fiscus is fine. But I disagree. The plant is mildly toxic if your bugs or cham nibble it. Also, the leavesbranches arent particularily strong and when they break the white sap they weep is an irritant - could cause skin and eye issues. Plus, fiscus dont like to be moved, so putting in an out of the cage to swap with the hibiscus will make it an unhappy plant (will drop leaves). I'd just put the hibiscus in from the start. The cage doesnt need to be packed full of plants, in fact should not be packed full - needs to be lots of air movement and open spaces.

Your cage dimensions are fine. Careful about the mesh - it looks pretty dense which could stop much of the UVB from getting in (consider a wider mesh for the top).
