Answer
Hibiscus is real sensitive to environmental changes and irrigation changes, when you brought it in it adjusted from the hot temps outside, but I am thinking you may have given it more water then it could bring up into its crown and it may have stressed; I would leave it outside (even in the high temps), but keep it in an area where it gets dappled shade or even full shade after early afternoon. If it starts to wilt, wet the leaves down, this will diminish moisture loss due to transpiration from the heat. Many gardners make the mistake of pouring more water on the roots when a plant wilts, thinking it needs more water, when in essence it is just not being able to keep up with the loss of moisture through the leaves, there is plenty of water on the roots and adding more opens up the door to root rot.
