What is best way to root Hibiscus plant?
i've transferred many hibiscus plants %26amp; have never had any trouble whatsoever...in my experience (I live in the middle of Missouri) these are some of the easiest %26amp; most forgiving plants to deal with. Simply wait until fall die-off, then cut the stalks back to about 3-5 inches above the ground. When digging, try pushing the shovel straight down into the ground, then angling under the plant to get as much of the root ball as possible. After you replant, make sure to really soak the soil around the plant. If you're transporting the plant from one place to another, a five gallon bucket full of water %26amp; MiracleGro will keep the roots safe until you get it to the new spot.
Reply:To Tell You The Truth, There Is No True Way To Uproot Any Plant. Plants Tend To Grow Peacefully, Spreading Their Roots Wherever There Is Nutrients. Once Uprooted, The Plant Is Disturbed And Go's Into A Panic (Kind Of Like A Fish Out Of Water) And Starts To Regroup All The Chloroplasts, And Eventually Die...Have Fun.....
Reply:do it in the fall after it dies we move ours the roots will break up but the main root should do well be sure to water a week or two after the broken off ones will also produce it will take as much as two years in some cases
