Hi! I inherited a 30 year old hibiscus and it has started to droop/wilt. It is warm enough, so I am unsure of what to do. Any advice?

i would check the root health, repot it and if you’re okay with it then do some chopping and start fresh it’ll be way happier

Looks like cold air/frost or excessive heat hit it. Hibiscus flowers come from new growth like roses. I would cut off most of the branches down to the edge of the planter. I would water enough to keep it alive through winter. Place in full sun in a warm room with regular fertilizer to grow new leaves.

Judging from that darker ring on the soil, you are not watering your plant correctly. The soil needs to be soaked in water befor draining out.

That’s a good catch!
