How long does it take for hibiscus cuttings to take root and survive? How to achieve a high survival rate of cuttings?

Rooting time of hibiscus cuttings

Hibiscus cuttings can be taken in spring or autumn. Generally, spring cuttings are the best. They will take root about 25 days after cuttings. You can prune them in the third month after cuttings so that they can bloom smoothly in the summer.

Rooting method of hibiscus cuttings

The method of rooting hibiscus cuttings is to first take a disposable cup, poke a few holes in the bottom of the cup, put nutrient soil in the cup, and put the prepared small hibiscus branches. It is recommended that hibiscus branches should be relatively small but woody branches, so that the survival rate is higher. At the same time, we should remove the leaves and dead leaves on the branches, so that it can better absorb nutrients, which will help the hibiscus flowers to take root quickly.

How to propagate small hibiscus

1. Branch selection

When taking cuttings of hibiscus, you should choose woody branches or tender branches. You can also cut branches from a healthy young hibiscus tree. Cut the selected branches directly, but the branches at the bottom should be cut into an inclined incision, and the incision must be smooth.

2. Planting

To process the hibiscus branches, cut them into about 10 cm long and remove all the basic leaves of the branches. Then insert them into the prepared cutting bed. After cutting, compact the surrounding soil. If the space is large, it will be detrimental to the survival of the small hibiscus. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining the distance between each hibiscus branch to enable it to grow better.
