Can i grow hibiscus from cuttings?
No problem doing that. We grow Hibiscus by the hundreds from cuttings. Use perlite, vermiculite or any other sterile medium for rooting. Take cuttings from brown wood, get a node at each end, remove all leaves, cut the lower end on a bias. Be sure to keep the cutting upright i.e. the part that was closest to the trunk is the part to go in the medium. Keep warm and moist.





You should get leaves in about ten days, but don't pot them out until they have a nice set of roots. When the first leaves appear, fertilize with a very mild concentration of a balance fertilizer (6-6-6 or similar is about right) at half the label recommendation.





If you're good at hand pollinating, Hibiscus can be grown from seed also. You can pollinate from the same plant, or a different plant if you want to try getting a new variety.





We've found after extensive testing that rooting hormones have little beneficial effect. The gels in particular seem to actually retard root development.
Reply:You bet. They root in water and with Rootone and damp soil.
Reply:yes you can. i took the branch and cut it on a slant. you must cut where the main branch and the other branch meet. then just get a vase and fill it with water. it takes a while for it to root. it may flower once or twice and then loose all its leaves and a month or 2 later it will begin rooting.
Reply:Yeah you can!





Ensure there will be an eye in cutting and cut slantly. Medium mature wood cuttings are better than softwood cuttings.

Reply:Yes, they grow quite well. Never had a problem.


I cut off a good piece, drop into potting soil and it gets on with it's job. If pieces are small, try get a piece with an eye but don't forget to cut the stem at an angle for better water absorption.
