### Seasonal Care & Maintenance Guide for Sleeping Hibiscus - **Light Requirements**: Requires full sun to partial sun (4–6 hours daily). Ensure ample light to maintain tight growth nodes and vibrant coloration. - **Watering Routine**: Moderate – Keep evenly moist during active growth; avoid waterlogging. Always test soil moisture before watering. Ensure drainage holes are completely unobstructed to prevent root rot. - **Temperature & Humidity**: Thrives at 18°C–35°C (65°F–95°F). Protect from frost, cold drafts, and prolonged water stagnation during monsoon months. - **Pruning & Training**: Prune dead, leggy, or yellowing stems during early spring to stimulate fresh bushier growth and abundant blooms.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Sleeping Hibiscus 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Well-draining garden soil enriched with 30% organic vermicompost. Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.

Pairs wonderfully with drought-tolerant companion plants and complementary flowering plants varieties.
