Default hibiscus suddenly upset

We have a hibiscus in a self watering pot that is suddenly giving up the
ghost for no discernible reason. it has gone incredible droopy with many
of the leaves withering up.

it was not short of water at any point. i have examined the roots and
they seem alright, although in one or two places it might be the sheathing
has been nibbled or that it might have been some damage in getting the
roots out.

i was looking for weevil grubs, since i've had experience of them before,
but no sign of them. masses of small worms. any suggestions please as
to what might be going on?

Mine has done that too. No idea what's causing it other than being indoors
in winter. I will check the roots.

Andy.
