🌿 Plant Care Tips:
Sunlight:
Sleeping hibiscus thrives in bright sunlight. Make sure it gets at least 5-6 hours of direct sun daily for healthy growth and blooming.
Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. In hotter weather, increase watering as needed.
Soil:
Use nutrient-rich, well-draining soil with good organic content. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.
Fertilising:
Apply fertilisers every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Use organic fertilisers such as bone meal, fish amino acids, seaweed solution, and Epsom salt to promote healthy growth, lush green foliage, and robust flower production. Water the plant before and after fertilising to prevent root burn and ensure effective nutrient absorption.
Pruning:
Trim the plant regularly to maintain its shape, encourage fresh growth, and improve flowering. Remove dead or damaged branches as needed.
Pest Control:
Watch out for common pests like aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Mulching:
Add a layer of mulch around the base to keep the soil moist, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.
Potting:
Grow the Sleeping Hibiscus plant in a 12-18 inch pot or grow bag. Avoid planting in containers without drainage holes, as excess water can damage the roots.
⚠️ Common Problems and Solutions:
No Blooming:
Caused by insufficient light, improper fertilisation, or too much nitrogen. Move the plant to a brighter location and use fertiliser during the growing season.
Dropping Leaves:
Caused by overwatering, underwatering, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Check soil moisture regularly, water deeply, and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering.
Wilting:
Caused by dehydration, rootbound plant, or poor soil quality. Increase watering frequency, and repot the plant into fresh, well-draining soil if needed.
Fungal Diseases:
Common diseases include powdery mildew and botrytis blight. Improve air circulation, prune affected areas, and use Trichoderma to prevent fungal issues.
