About this item
Double Red Hibiscus Starter Live Cutting Plant Roots Valentine's Crush Flower
Nothing says tropical like a beautiful blooming hibiscus. Bright, huge, showy blooms and glossy green foliage have made hibiscus immensely popular with gardeners and houseplant enthusiasts.
Taking cuttings is the most common method of propagating hibiscus and is how most growers and greenhouses make new hibiscuses to sell. Hibiscus can also be started from seed by the home gardener.
Tropical hibiscus are, as their name suggests, not cold tolerant. Anything cooler than USDA zone 9 or so will be too chilly. Hardy hibiscus can sometimes survive outdoors as far north as USDA zone 4. If you are a cold climate gardener, or just don't have space, don't worry. Hibiscus does fine in containers.
Hibiscuses propagated from a mother plant will be identical in foliage and flower color to the parent. Taking cuttings is the perfect way to grow a copy of your friend’s hibiscus that you absolutely adore or to bring your favorite hibiscus with you when you move.
When selecting cuttings for propagation, inspect the existing plants. Choose cuttings from plants free from disease that appear healthy and happy. Cuttings from sick or low-vigor plants will not root well and may spread diseases.
How To Grow Hibiscus From Cuttings
The most popular way to propagate hibiscus, growing new plants from cuttings is simple and relatively quick. Hibiscus can be propagated in soil or soilless mediums, and in water. If you choose to propagate in soil, any potting mixture you have on hand will work as long as it maintains moisture and drainage.
