knowing my Hibiscus plants need to be indoors in the winter , i am short on space for them is it ok to cut them back and will it hurt their growth next spring, or can i just remove them from their pots and bring indoors.
It will not hurt them to cut them back pretty hard. I have done with many tropical hibiscus, and they come back even bigger than before. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/tips-for-pruning-hibiscus-plants-when-to-prune-hibiscus.htm
I was given a healthy bush in a container this fall, it got exposed to a freeze. Now the leaves are dead. Brought inside, do I take off the dead leaves myself? Sinc3 it is tropical does it also help to put a container of water next to it?
The container of water won't help much. You should wait until right before the new growth comes back to cut the dead growth. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/hibiscus-container-care.htm
I have 2 separated plants around my pool. One has a minimal amount of yellow leaves. The other one is mostly yellow leaves :/
They benefit from extra water during the summer, just enough to keep the soil slightly moist, and they are very heavy feeders.
Usually feeding them will bring the color back. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/answers-to-what-causes-hibiscus-leaves-turning-yellow.htm
Thanks for sharing such great information.

It is in a container.
Usually, since these are heavy feeders, it is due to a lack of nutrients. Depending on the location of yellowing, it could be different deficiencies.

How do I prune the hibiscus houseplants?
You can prune them in late winter to shape them up.
My tropical hibiscus bloomed all winter in the house. I brought it outside after memorial day and has only had a few flowers so far. It is growing, leaves are green but no flowers. My hydrangea has not bloomed this year. Not sure what to do Thank you
Did you fertilize your hibiscus before bringing it outside?

I have already lost 2 out of three plants in one of my pots and now this one only has 2 plants in the pot and one is looking sickly.
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. It sounds like overcrowding, though. There should only be one to a container, unless you have a very large 30 gallon planter.
