We have vacationed in Boulder Junction since the early 1950's and have a cabin on a small lake in that town.

I kept some Braided Hibiscus a few winters back in the basement. Ops I forgot to water them. To late for them by that time. Looks like you have saved yours. Good luck with your green babies.

I usually just let them go in the winter, but I decided to save them if I could and to save my pocketbook next spring!

This is the first time I have ever heard of them as indoor plants. They grow super fast where the night time temps stays above 40 degrees. We get too cold for them here in the mountain west.
