Question Hibiscus - Rose of China

Hello!
This is my first time on this site to ask advise...
I have a potted hibiscus - the tropical kind (forgive my ignorance). I live in England and have kept it indoors since buying it. During the summer last year it bloomed well. As winter approached, it became dormant and I followed instructions to water less but keep it moist. It has wilted and parts have died. I have been sparing with the water and have it near a window for light. It has not been exposed to draughts or strong sun light. Can anyone tell me why it is dying?
Many thanks in advance for any advise

Default Hibiscus - Rose of China

Kim,

I think you will get better answers if you go to rec.gardens. This is a
binaries group for orchid photos.

Good luck!

(that said, mine are in my kitchen and looking sad. they always perk
back up once i get them back outside. don't let yours dry out, and
maybe try and get on gardenweb.com and ask in one of their tropical
fora. good luck!)
