How to Grow Hibiscus from Cuttings

Propagating hibiscus, whether tropical hibiscus or hardy hibiscus, can be done in the home garden and both varieties of hibiscus are propagated in the same way. Hardy hibiscus is easier to propagate than the tropical hibiscus, but never fear; with a little bit of knowledge about how to propagate hibiscus, you can be successful at growing either kind.
Daizz's tips:-
The hibiscus cutting should be 4 to 6 inches long. Remove everything but the top set of leaves. Trim the bottom of the hibiscus cutting to be cut just below the bottom leaf node (bump where the leaf was growing). Dip the bottom of the hibiscus cutting in rooting hormone.The next step for propagating hibiscus from cuttings is to place the hibiscus cutting in well draining soil. Make sure the rooting soil is thoroughly wet, then stick a finger into the rooting soil. Place the hibiscus cutting into the hole and back fill it around the hibiscus cutting.Place the hibiscus cutting in partial shade. Make sure the rooting soil stays damp (not wet) until the hibiscus cuttings are rooted. The cuttings should be rooted in about 4-6 weeks. Once they are rooted, you can re pot them in a bigger pot.

Thank you for teaching in a way that someone like me, who has never been good at gardening, can understand. I’m going to try this and I’m optimistic! Creating life is a magnificent blessing!

[@cuttlebugs]

I love hibiscus and had no idea I could grow them from a cutting (I’m just recently taking interest in gardening) thanks for this , I’m off to check out my neighbours gardens now lol

[@scottchilders4064]

I was lucky enough to get 4 different hibiscus cuttings from a gardening group friend and I came here to learn how to use root hormone and how to plant them. Very informative. Thank you for all your helpful advice. I feel much better about what I need to do. Thank you.

I never knew you could use cinnamon! My sister and I were discussing her propagating hibiscus failures and you gave me everything I need for success. Thank you.

Wow. What a great job you did on this video. I love that you showed all the details and all the stages. Thanks so much!

[@dorinek9108]

Excellent video. Clear instructions, great demonstration of all the steps & stages. I am going to try this now on my Hibiscus sabdariffa (thai red roselle) that I grew for tea this year, but know it will not make it through the winter here in NC. I'll see if I can keep some plants alive inside by a sunny window. If they don't look happy, I do have some grow lights I can keep them under until ready to be replanted back out next Spring.

Hi. What should I use as potting medium when you transplant the rooted cuttings to individual pots. Thanks

[@roshanrathod4154]

I have done this today. I used fine garden soil. And dipped the cuttings into honey water before planting. And covered with plastic bag. Hoping for the best fingers crossed🤞

[@rahman113]

How are they now?

[@roshanrathod4154]

@@rahman113 they're good. I have tried to gradually decreased the humidity. As after suddenly removing plastic the cuttings will dry out. I made holes in the plastic for aeration. Tried keeping them out of plastic for alternative days and the result were okay. But the alternative switch gave 2 weak cuttings shock and they died. I still have 3 active and healthy. And have kept in plastic with holes still.

[@roshanrathod4154]

@@rahman113 even though u can succeed in making new shoots into plastic. But this is the worst part of the year to do so. They have low success rate after removing polythene. The April, may, june are Summer months hence the climate is hot. So if u want to do this with polythene u can do after monsoon is over and in winter and until February. Not after that. And for best results without a polythene cover is to do in monsoon.

[@vatchalaprabhakar]

Urban Gardener step by step explanation. very helpful. I live in dubai and I dont get direct sunlight in my balcony in winters. summers alone I get direct sunlight but as you know they are harsh. what do I do? I love plants. they make me happy. please suggest if they can be still grown without direct sunlight.

[@urbangardeningofficial]

thank you ma'am for your comment...)If you’re trying to grow houseplants indoors you’ll find that some rooms of your house are low in natural light. Sunlight is the perfect balance of wavelengths necessary for plant growth and blooming, but you can also use artificial light to help your plants along. In fact, low-light foliage plants (such as pothos, areca palm,dumb cane & peace lily etc) can grow quite nicely with enough artificial light. For serious indoor growing and starting plants from seeds, you’ll need hanging tube fixtures placed right over your plants. You can buy special grow light kits that include fixtures and reflectors, but for regular houseplants you can really use any lamp or light fixture as long as you choose the bulbs carefully and place the lamps where your plants can benefit most. Fluorescent lights are by far the most economical and easy choice for houseplants. They come in tubes or compact bulbs (CFL) that screw into regular lamp sockets, and they’re cool enough to put close to plant foliage. Generic fluorescent tubes and bulbs are higher in blue wavelengths, so look for “full-spectrum” or include a mix of “cool” and “warm” bulbs. When in doubt, buy “cool white” products, since white light contains the full spectrum of wavelengths. For maximum effect, position fluorescents about a foot away from plant foliage.....takecare happy gardening...:)
