A much easier and faster method with a higher success rate is putting cuttings some 2 inches deep in water. Add a couple of drops of hydrogene peroxide to keep bacteria at bay, and optionally add a homeopathic dosis of fertilizer. No need to put a plastic bag, neither any kind of rooting hormone. Keep cuttings warm and in partial shade. Change water as soon as it starts to look somewhat cloudy (every 2 to 3 days). Most hybrids will start to form roots after some 14 days. The more difficult to root hybrids may need some 3 to 4 weeks. Once roots are about 2 to 3 inches long, they can be potted up in regular soil. In easier to root hybrids the success rate is close to or equal to 100%. And even difficult to root hybrids (especially very fancy ones with broken colors) will have success, which else would always fail if put directly in soil.
Hi, I enjoyed your post. Cheers! 🌸 Couple of questions, when do you think is the best time to do the cuttings, ie season, and how long before they're ready to remove & plant. Thanks again . . .
I just try to keep the soil moist. I know a lot of people put the cuttings in cups or bottles of water and they seem to root very well that way too. I'm not sure what survival rate is because I had a massive aphid problem that wiped them all out, including the mother plant.
@BSGSV neem oil will kill aphids within a day. Soft exoskeleton on aphids & dries & kills them. I also put Diatomaceous Earth around the bottom of the plant Aphids can't fly, so it kills them if they try to climb up. I hope this helps. GREAT VIDEO!😊
I've so far had no luck with my hibiscus cuttings. I've tried just sticking it in soil. I've tried using honey as a rooting agent. I've tried sticking it in an aloe cutting before planting it. I've tried just putting it in straight water indoors. So far the water lasted the longest at a month before giving me a dead stick, but still no roots from anything I've tried.

You didn't use any rooting powder?
How soon do the cuttings root?
@@Deborah-hn3rt I rarely do. And timing depends on a lot of factors but usually within a couple months
Thank you for the information...really good info.
Very helpful. Propagated a few times and never work. Follow this time and hopefully it will work. Thanks...

Thank you! Spring is usually the best time for cuttings. Early spring especially. I would wait as long as you can before replanting. Fall if possible.
Nice bro 👍 there's another option too you can also use rooting hormone I put that on my cuttings
Hello...what brand of root hormone do you use?
Watched a bunch of videos on this topic, enjoyed your relaxed approach. Just some random feedback :)
How long did it take to root?
Nice video. How often do you water the cuttings? What is your survival rate by this method? Thanks!

@@BonsaiBoise Thanks so much for replying! I will give it a try. Aphids are a huge problem for hibiscus. Wish I had some advice on how to combat them.
Neem oil root rinse
diatomaceous earth or neem oil!! Bad aphids on my tomatoes this year!! Killed them all. They have a soft exoskeleton & neem dries them & kills them!!

How do you keep it moist?
Just water them when they look dry
The leaves looks like Rose of Sharon
I ha went tried rose of Sharon yet but I've heard they make good bonsai.
It's from the same species😊
