Globally, Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Malvaceae), commonly known as roselle or hibiscus, is a multipurpose vegetable crop. In Malawi, where it referred to ‘Chidede’ (Chichewa), recognized an underutilized traditional plant with significant potential. Traditional production in Malawi being promoted enhance nutritional food security and climate change mitigation. Recently, biochar has become increasingly used improve agricultural productivity through climate-smart technologies. To date, the influence of rice husk (RHB) on H. remains underexplored. This study aims evaluate effects RHB vegetative growth, response water stress, post-stress recovery using greenhouse pot experiment. Our findings indicate that biochar-amended soil enhanced height, stem thickness, total leaf area by 16.5%, 12.0%, 12.9%, respectively. Water stress significantly reduced all assessed growth parameters (p < 0.05) except average per plant. Under conditions, biochar-treated plants were taller had higher specific 0.05), demonstrating positive effect. A analysis revealed fully recovered height biomass, while partial was observed for root collar diameter compensatory area. Biochar-treated exhibited superior compared those grown unamended soil. Overall, larger diameter, fresh greater These underscore biochar’s potential sustainable amendment enhancing resilience crops. Further studies should explore field experiments access environmental heterogeneity examine diverse factors influencing efficiency.
