my daughter has left a hibiscus plant outside on a glass top patio table all summer. She waters it faithfully. Last Saturday evening she mentioned to her husband she could smell something burning in the back yard but couldn't determine a source. In the morning when she went out to hang some clothes out,she saw that the hibiscus was burnt to a crisp still smouldering. It had burnt from the roots up with just a couple of leaves left. The soil almost gone. She poured water over it and it steamed away as if still on fire. Would this have happened in here house if the plant was in it's normal spot in livingroom?

Not if it was in a dry area and you only gave it recommended amount of water the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion it often happens in a hay stack where the hay was baled when grenn or damp ~~
