Rose of Sharon from Cutting

[@jbaidoo2000]

Tried it with my rose of Sharon. Took about 15 small cuttings on 08/22/2021, dipped the tips in clonex gel, inserted them in a 50/50 perlite and peat moss mix, put them in a clear container with clear lid in a bright room away from direct sunlight. I checked three of them yesterday 09/04/2021 and there were little roots showing. I am very excited. The easiest plant I have ever rooted besides Gaura.

I am new to gardening just started a couple years ago. I am almost 50 and found Rose of Sharon 6 years ago. I live in a desert state I always forget to water plants even one day can be death here. So when I found these guys were drought-tolerant I jumped for joy. The problem is they are expensive. So I can only buy one a year. This popped up in my feed. You have solved my money problem thank you so much

[@PlayingwithPlants]

Enjoy and share some of your new babies. Share the joy. Thank you for watching

Thank you for your knowledge. I thought it was going to be hard to make more plants of rose of sharon. I think I can do this.

The main thing is not to give up. Glad to help. Keep me updated. Would be best to wait till spring unless your in some of the far southern states

Thank you for showing a method in making copies of 🌺 ( Rose of Sharon ) 🌺 But honestly that is not the easys way of producing more of its kind . 🤔 Many times when using branches of a tree or plant they quickly die . 😮 The best way to grow 🌺 ( Rose of Sharon) 🌺 Is by the seed pods which have around 30 or more seeds in each . 🌺🤔🌺 This wonderful plant grows quickly and spreads quickly on your property once established . 🌺🌲🌺 I have many of these wonderful plants in both sides of my home in the color purple and pink and white and each spring and early summer I have so many baby saplings growing underneath the 🌺 ( Rose of Sharon ) 🌺 All I do is dig them up and place the baby seedling plants somewhere I would like them to fully mature . 🤔 The 🌺 ( Rose of Sharon ) 🌺 Is edible and medical from the flowers and the leaves and the twigs and even the roots humans and even animals can enjoy eaten from this plant . 🤔 You can eat the young leaves in salads or soups or stir fries . 🤔 You can eat the flowers raw or sun dry them and use them in teas as well as the leaves . 🌺🌿🌺 You can decorate cakes with the flowers and even use them in baked goods they are edible. 🌺 This beautiful and wonderful and edible and medical plant Is loved by bees and butterflies and everyone who knows about it . 😍🦋🐝😍 It helps you with inflammation . 🤔 It helps you with high blood pressure .🤔 It helps you with urine tract infections .🤔 It helps you to purify your blood . 🤔 It is good for people with diabetes . 🤔 It is good for sore throats . It is good for colds and flus. It helps you go to the bathroom. 🤔 The flowers have a high amount of vitamin c which helps the immune system . One of many wonderful plants that the Lord God in heaven has given to us that is edible and medical . 🙏 Something we need in case of an emergency situations. May the Lord God in heaven blessed each and everyone. 🙏🙂🙏

update on success? Thanks

[@donnaten2]

I'd like to know, you did this in Sept., let's say they rooted by November. Would you then plant in the ground? Don't they go dormant in winter? if you do plant inground November, do you cover them?

[@PlayingwithPlants]

I did keep them in pots in a greenhouse until spring

[@PlayingwithPlants]

Yes they will loose it leaves in winter in the greenhouse keep warm a little longer

[@PlayingwithPlants]

It was the last part of August

@@PlayingwithPlants Thanks so much for the quick reply. I finally got 4 plants to grow, and this is the first year I've seen blooms!

Nice. the main thing is to not give up

I was totally distracted by the spider crawling on the table!

[@PlayingwithPlants]

Never seen it lol 😆

[@Jason-lw2nw]

It's so FAST 😬

[@ka3328]

@@Jason-lw2nw Not too fast for me. I hate spiders!

[@PlayingwithPlants]

They eat a lot of bad bugs

[@sallymerrell4491]

I know, it totally creeped me out too.

[@kelly5919]

Great idea about using honey as a rooting agent. Just dip in honey and place in soil?

[@PlayingwithPlants]

Works great 👍

I ordered online 2 rose of Sharon. I just received them (November 2,2023) they came in a small pot. Can I put them underground or should I leave them outside in the pot.I have them inside the house and they are losing their leaves.. I’m afraid they’re dying 😢please help. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@PlayingwithPlants]

Not sure what growing zone your in but they would do better in ground then in the pots if keep outside. If I was to keep them outside I would put them in ground and mulch them to help protect the roots from the cold. I'm in the cold part of zone 7

[@isarodriguez1912]

@@PlayingwithPlants Thank you.. sorry I forgot to tell you that I’m in zone 7b.. if I’m not wrong. That would be Long Island NY. I will put them underground and mulch them 🙏🏻

[@rayteems3535]

I have been told that the Rose of Sharon blooms are edible. I wonder if the other variation of colors blooms are edible too.? I do know the squirrels like them.

[@PlayingwithPlants]

I have no clue sorry

[@tc2006driver]

Is there an update video for this?

[@PlayingwithPlants]

I never got to do one by the time they got good roots they sold

[@tedkern4823]
