Any chance my hibiscus can survive the winter indoors?
It has been such a trooper. Flowers from mid-May until now.
Perhaps it isn't worth the hassle. It was our first one.

Thanks in advance.

There's always a chance. ;)

Do you have a room with a southern exposure, and a lot of windows? That
would be a good location. It won't need near the water that it has, and if
you /really/ feel you need to feed it, use half-strength.

It'll be messy, though. Most leaves will probably drop, and then there's
the whiteflies...

You most certainly can (if it's a tropical hibiscus - they have shinier
leaves than the hardy ones). Put it in a cool, well-lit area and water when
dry. You will have leaf yellowing and drop and may have pest problems to
control, but it will (should) live to see next summer.
