How to propagate hibiscus and what to pay attention to

Hibiscus flower reproduction method

The main methods of propagation of hibiscus are seed propagation, cutting propagation, layering propagation, and division propagation. Among them, cutting propagation is the main method. Hibiscus seeds can be propagated. The natural reproduction method is seed propagation. Hibiscus cutting propagation is the fastest

Hibiscus flower breeding time

Hibiscus is usually propagated by cuttings in early spring, or in late autumn or early winter. The temperature at this time is neither high nor low, so it is very easy for the plants to take root and survive, and the survival rate is very high.

How to propagate hibiscus

Hibiscus flower division propagation

Before the hibiscus sprouts new buds in early spring, the vigorously growing adult plants can be dug out and cultivated in clumps of three main branches. If they are carefully cared for, they can soon be cultivated into new plants.

Hibiscus cutting propagation

Choose sturdy hibiscus branches with a length of 10 to 12 cm, place them in a well-ventilated place to dry, and then cut them into loose, fertile red soil or sandy loam in the open air. Water them once every morning and they are very easy to survive.

Hibiscus sowing propagation

After the hibiscus has produced seeds, you can collect them, dry them and store them, and then sow them in the spring of the following year. After sowing, the seeds should be covered with soil, and they will germinate about 20 days after sowing.

Hydroponic hibiscus propagation

In order to make the hibiscus branches take root and sprout faster, the best way is to choose hydroponic cuttings. Prepare a transparent container, add an appropriate amount of water, soak the branches in the water for about 3-5 cm, and do not soak the leaves in the water. This completes the process of hydroponic cuttings of hibiscus.

Tips for propagating hibiscus

1. Maintenance: During the maintenance of hibiscus flowers, ensure sufficient light exposure time and always pay attention to whether there is water shortage to ensure that the humidity of the flowers is appropriate, which can effectively prevent the tender leaves from burning.

2. Watering: Hibiscus requires a lot of water, so it is fine to water it once or twice a day. If there is insufficient water, it will wither prematurely.

3. Pruning: Be sure to prune the hibiscus flowers in time after they bloom. The easiest way is to just cut them in half. This is a simple and practical method.

4. Treatment: After the hibiscus blooms, be sure to cut off the withered flowers in time, but be careful not to cut off the new shoots. Then also pay attention to fertilizing, so that it can bloom often.
