Cutting propagation method of Hibiscus mutabilis

time

The best time for cuttings of Hibiscus is in winter and spring after the flowering period.

Cuttings

You can choose softwood cuttings or semi-hardwood cuttings, and choose branches with 3-5 nodes and 10-15 cm long. If there are flower buds on the branches, they need to be cut off and the leaves in the lower 1/2 of the branches need to be removed to reduce water evaporation.

method

Insert 1/2 length of the processed cuttings into a flowerpot with vermiculite to keep the medium moist. The temperature is lower in winter, so you can put a plastic bag over the flowerpot to keep it moist and warm, which is conducive to germination. Generally speaking, the rooting time of Hibiscus is 3-4 weeks. After the cuttings germinate, they can be transplanted into larger pots for seedling cultivation. After the roots grow well, they can be planted in the courtyard.
