Hibiscus Winter Care in Unheated Mississippi House: Survival Possible

3–4 ft Hibiscus in uninsulated MS house, no daytime heat. Survives if temps stay >freezing.

Winter Protocol

• Sunny window (south/west).
• Water when soil dry ⅓ down.
• No fertilizer until spring.
• Expect leaf drop & minimal growth.
• Spring: Hard prune (½) before moving out.

Cold Tolerance

Hibiscus withstands near-freezing. If your house stays >32°F, it lives. You survive → it survives.
