How to Grow Hibiscus from Cuttings

[@margueriteadair8933]

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

[@valeriegreen-moss2106]

I've tried this before and I know it works :). Here in the north of New Zealand we have just experienced our driest summer ever, and one of the few plants that did well and continued flowering were hibiscuses. So I'm going to propagate a lot more, using your technique. Thanks for your video!

[@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.

[@nancyburridge]

Thank you for some great information. I planted tropical Orange Hibiscus last year and they are 7 feet tall and in need of pruning. I will be propagating the cuttings and sharing them with family & neighbors. I have enjoyed many of your instructional videos about bamboo and have 12 new bamboo plants as a result. Keep the great videos coming.

[@saugat107]

One of the best videos I have ever seen about growing Hibiscus. Your instruction is very plain and clear. Thanks !!!

[@urbangardeningofficial]

thank you..:)

[@priyankarathod6082]

Thank you for such a wonderful instruction I tried this same way instead I used Honey for the rooting harmon and kept in shade 6 week did not cover the poly but still there was moist and now the leaves have been shooting thanks a lot I am so happy

[@urbangardeningofficial]

Great 🙂🙃☺

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.

[@marijkebruintjes7780]

Thankyou so much! Now I can have the most beautiful hibiscus I've ever seen from my oncology hospitals garden , the one thing that makes me happy when going for my treatment .

[@klhound]

I have been trying to root Hibiscus forever with no success. NOW I know how to do it successfully! Going now to ask neighbor for a few more cuttings from her plant. :) lol Next year I'll have my own to show off. Thank you for the great video!

It's super rare imo to find that deep pure scarlet red that I love. So cloning is the way. I have been trying with cuttings to no avail but did eventually find one at the store

[@Hellogirl609]

Wow i became a plant specialist by seeing urban gardening videos thanks

[@kereen3930]

My mom decided to cut my 11 y/o hibiscus that I planted when I was just 8. It's white and fuchsia pink inside. Quite unique, I think. I'll try planting new ones tomorrow.

[@northerngardengirl]

Thank you so much for providing such simple instructions on how to propagate hibiscus! It's too late in the season here to do them but next summer I will definitely be propagating some from the one I have. Thanks again!!! :D

[@adoptedchineseboy]

Wow showing the roots at the end! That is a lot of growth!😲

[@nataliefenelon4796]

I’m in love with the sincerity & care in these videos. Thank you 🌱

[@urbangardeningofficial]

Thanks 😊

[@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.

[@urbangardeningofficial]

good luck dorine..loved ur dedication ..:) take care

[@sandralesperance881]

I can't wait to try. Have had one Hibiscus for three years and it blooms ALL year 'round. Can't wait to make another plant from. Thank you for the video.

[@amirlakhani1685]

One of the best video I have seen. Loved how you said that you do not need perlite or rooting mixture. Thank you showing the roots after 6 weeks. This clearly shows the value of scraping the bottom of the cutting before putting it in the pot. Thank you

[@johnk860]

I grew up in South Florida and now live in CT. My experience in FL gave me an understanding of how easy it is to propagate Tropical Hibiscus from cuttings and a number of other plants as well. Then my hibiscus got blown over in a spring storm and a branch broke off. So I did what dad did - got a pot, filled it with potting soil, clipped some of the length off the broken end of the branch (leaving leaves of course) and stuck it into the soil, watered it, and covered it all with a gallon wide mouthed jar. I put this little greenhouse in the sun, and walked away for about a 6 weeks. Well, now its 4 years later and mom and child are still blooming well, and the child needs its first haircut. nb: You can do this anytime of the year but not outdoors if its autumn or winter (grow lights work well), cuttings should be taken in early spring before buds form for the tropical variety, and don't pull the jar off the plant to check if its got enough water. It recycles.

Thanks for the video! I'm in the U.S.and, while the text was nice, I had no trouble understanding you. After watching other videos that assumed I knew all the correct terms, I appreciated your close up shots which explained things. Thanks! 🌺

[@rjames0922]

Thanks for such a nice, straightforward video! Can't wait to try this with my plants!

[@sujatabose20]

Thank you very much for this video! You describe everything very well & easy to follow..... I think I have been successful with my cuttings. Waiting for more leaves to sprout. I used honey as a growth stimulator.

[@natashamarano9228]

Beautiful job! I accidently broke a branch off of my new hibiscus & was hoping I could save the branch. I will try your approach with organic cinnamon powder instead of the hormone, only because I already have that. Thanks for a great video!

[@urbangardeningofficial]

Natasha Marano great 😊 good luck

[@TheIndepententCraftyGamer]

What happened?

[@mutazaljahrani1829]

So amazing and informational I tried it I asked one of my good neighbors to cut off a piece of their hibiscus they left me for three pieces only and then six weeks and they were amazing they had leaves and roots so I planted them

[@TheTexasBoys]

Thanks for the info gonna propagate a large Hardy hibiscus we have

[@FreqBand]

After rooting hormone is applied and inserted into potting mix, I like to water it from the bottom-up.... meaning, fill a saucer with water and place the pot in the shallow water so that the soil soaks up the water. This way, you will not wash off the hormone powder, if you water from the top.

[@urbangardeningofficial]

Randy Leifer thank you for sharing your experience...😊😊🤗🤗🤗☺

[@Zinkevm1]

Randy Leifer, thanks for the extra info, I've been reading up on rooting hormones for Hibiscus and I never even thought about the water washing the hormones off. Thank you again.

[@raquelk.2960]

I will try that! Mahalo for the tip! 🌺

[@chrisrone8845]

Great advice, I would water light on top to start , then bottom , & Voila ! hormone happens:)

[@loveoneanother881]

Thank you. Do you know of a method for rooting morning glory? I want the weed, not the polite hybrid. A nursery owner told me I needed to start with seeds. I did and they were all hybrid. I need the plant I used to have that will survive me and any weather conditions to make a large field of groundcover over rocks. They thrived under 40 ft pines before. Also, I have a few aerogardens. My first and only try failed when larva was found on the 8-week old herbs and salads. I also read that summer isn't the best time for hydroponics? I didn't have A/C and "someone" kept letting in the mosquito-eaters. I don't know if they caused my plant problem but they loved the three units in the kitchen. I did buy safer soap and it killed all but one herb. Are there any fast-growing trees that can be rooted? I'm in North San Diego County and trying to replace plants lost during the fires. Oh, what about ficus benjamina? It's an outdoors guy in a big pot. Thank you. I intend to learn how to grow things successfully.

These are best when put in soil -less material...not potting soil. Due to the potting soil not being sterile it can cause the new plants to develop diseases. Great video and an awesome plant!!!

I live in the USA , in Ohio it has been a crazy winter sub zero some days other days warm (above freezing) inside our home it is dry and cool and my tree usually did well in our winter days with grey days (not so many sunny days) this year our tree lost a lot of leaves and has began to wilt and has starter sending new branches up from the base, the whole top of the tree is dying. The tree is over 20 years old and has been repotted twice. I think it got too dry and then over watered. The three top branches that have new growth I think I will try to re root from cuttings like you show to save my very old tree. I love the flowers it gives us and the spring warms up the house, and then on and off the rest of the year usually till Christmas. I hope the cuttings save my old tree.
