Propagate Hardy Hibiscus by Cuttings

[@HillCountryGardenGirl]

Wow, didn’t know you could grow hibiscus from cuttings. I’ll have to try this. Thank you.

[@GrowNewPlants]

Yes, and they are looking great so far, no wilting of leaves, hopefully have some roots to show in a month or so!

[@TheEnchantedWoodnymph1111]

I know this is 3 months (hopefully not too late) to ask this question but I live in Dallas Texas and wondered if it's too late to propagate hardy hibiscus. Thank you for your video it's been very helpful 💚

[@GrowNewPlants]

I think I would wait until spring now, hard to get one rooted and strong enough to survive winter

[@Murphysmom247]

I enjoyed this video and learned a lot.

[@GrowNewPlants]

Great, Will have an update on them in about two weeks

[@mlam2634]

I enjoy it soooo much!! Do you have a video that tells how often to what and the temperatures setting for these?

[@williamrothballer3553]

Nice to know your soil ingredients and ratios. Enjoy your leason

[@GrowNewPlants]

Thank you, I will

[@LauraLachelt]

How are these doing? Looking so forward to an update. 😊

[@GrowNewPlants]

I didn't get as many as I hoped, But the ones that took are doing good, I am hardening them off so will pot them up within the next two weeks and will post an update

[@julielarabie8803]

Great job just want to know if you’re using potting soil or seed starting mix

[@GrowNewPlants]

I used my starter mix, Peat and perlite with Rootmaker 6 fertilizer

[@susannehumbach4896]

I’m in MI and the soil freezes over the winter. Would I plant these outside or keep them in a window for the winter?

[@GrowNewPlants]

My guess is they would need to be put somewhere protected in the winter. I have read there are some varieties that are cold hardy in MI, might check with you state ag commission and see if they can point you to the better varieties for your area.

[@justknots2050]

I like that new nozzle, where did you get it?

[@GrowNewPlants]

Me too, Amazon, There is a link in the description under the video

[@normahill936]

Success rate? How long to root?

[@GrowNewPlants]

will post an update on these soon

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

do the trays come with the dome covers?

[@GrowNewPlants]

No I purchase them separately, there are links in the description of the video

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

@@GrowNewPlants thanks! i need to protect my stuff from squirrels so those domes will come in handy

[@GrowNewPlants]

Those pesky squirrels!!

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

@GrowNewPlants theyre more than pesky, they are destructive and damage homes, they destroy everything

Lmfao sounds like hank hill! Damn it Bobby you cut to much!

[@GrowNewPlants]

LOL not he first time I have heard that, I think I sound normal here in Texas!

[@samueljaramillo4221]

It’s a shame you cut so much of that plant. Wet your soil before you fill your cells. Then fill your tray half way with water and water from the bottom. I never water from the top. That way the seed or cuttings are not disturbed.

[@viciousgrowth5344]

Plant is totally fine… watering from the top or the bottom makes no difference as long as you are careful during each application. I’ve cut plants and cuttings back way more than that.

[@cmw8216]

He literally said he bought this plant to propigate. Also, this plant will become bushier after it's been cut back. I never water from the bottom when propagating cuttings as the soil becomes too wet. There's multiple ways to do things and it's nice to have different options
