Place the plant in the brightest light available and continue to water
as needed. If I may ask, if this is truly a hardy plant, why bring it
indoors?

I'm up here in cold and nasty Zone 5a and have one, well actually two
(in the same pot) that I have started from cuttings and I've had them
for a couple of years now. I do have to prune them once in a while to
help keep some shape to them and other than good care I don't do
anything special for them. They do go outside after the last frost
date is well past and they come back in before the first frost of Fall.
Indoors I keep them under fluorescent lights in the basement. I
nearly lost it once when I allowed it to get too dry. They need to be
relatively moist at all times with only an occasional "drying out",
just not to the point that the foliage wilts.

Since I do grow mine under lights over the winter and the basement is
on the cool side, I don't lose very many leaves and they do their best
blooming during the long winter months.

I also carry over Lantanas and Tropical Hibiscus. I have one Tropical
Hibiscus that I have had for more than 15 years and it was grown from a
cutting. Every year I play the in/out game with it every spring and
fall and this is no easy feat since it is in a 14-inch pot and is
roughly 3-feet wide and 4-feet tall. I have 2 that size along with 3
in 10-inch pots and 10 or 12 (I forget!) that are in either 1 or 2
gallon pots and 8 of them are seedlings from across I made several
years ago. One has finally decided to reward me with bloom, a very
vibrant red-orange. Because of our somewhat short growing season, most
of my Hibiscus do their best blooming after they have been brought
indoors for the winter.

Well that was probably more information that you wanted! Bright light
and regular watering should keep your Boug. happy enough for the next
four months.
