Growing hibiscus from cutting

| July 17, 2015 | Gardening | 8 Comments

Today I am sharing about how to grow hibiscus from cutting.

If you notice, there are new growth in almost all leave nodes and I am pruning at height of 12-15 cm.

This is the head branch after cutting. Ensure there are no sign of any disease.

Remove all big leaves

Fill the small pot with good soil (potting soil) and just plant the cutting in the pot. Pot size do play vital role.

Put the pot in zip-lock bag

Keep it where it can get good sunlight but not direct sunlight.After 4 weeks , I see new leaves around the stem.

Hope to see blooms next spring.

Try your hands with cutting and share your experience.

If you will apply some root hormone , it will help !

    I take cuttings all year round in West Virginia. I have successfully rooted Hibiscus with no special lighting, zip locks, or blah, blah, blah. Just use rooting hormone, seed starter, seal in a two liter plastic bottle cut in half, mist as needed, and ignore for eight weeks.

      Thank you for sharing your experience Karolyn. Just curious how did as a beginner one knows about required mist level? Also, where did you keep your “shootling” so that it can be safely ignored for 8 weelks?

    As an experiment I put fallen leaves from my hibiscus tree into a shot glass of water. They’re now rooting and I’m not sure if they will grow into a tree or just rooted leaves.

      Dear Nina,

      As per my experience I would say try in growing season (Spring/Summer) at your place. It would be great if you can share Blue Hibiscus’s beauty with us on our FB Page – Priticious. I am sure not many have seen them :).

    It is very good easy process ,but about watering there is no information

      I am using potting mix which keeps good moisture for 4 week and then you are wrapping up in zip lock which manage the moisture. You don’t have t water the cutting like other established rooted plants
