Any hope of saving this australian hibiscus from dying ?

Your soil is not holding enough water if it is dry in 24 hours. I would consider building a super soil from your base soil. Adding compost and a few other amendments can improve the soil porosity and water-holding capacity.

ok that means the garden soil in my area is extremely dry..so next time when i will be making potting mix i need to increase the amount of vermicompost,coco peat, perlite
on the other hand just a though if its so dry..what if i increase the amount of daily water i provide to the plants ,so that it wont dry up so fast within 24 hrs ..and i water then every 48hrs..will that work?

Give it a try and see how it works friend. As long as you don't flush out all the water-soluble nutrients.
