Propagating plants from cuttings is like gathering Christmas presents several weeks ahead of the Holidays: the anticipation of so much joy to come! I was given a few plants by my grandfather before he passed and over 25 years after his passing, we still have ‘offspring’ from those plants because when the ‘parent’ plants are past their prime, there are always a few thriving new ones from cuttings. And… they’re free!
Absolutely! And plants are a wonderful way of keeping our loved one's memories alive! ❤
Haha, do we have the same grandpa?
Plants are such amazing examples of life. They really are our greatest ally on the planet. Humanity would be better off if more people understood that.
Thank you for the lesson I’m trying with three little pieces in three different pots and hoping one or all 3 will work
Good luck! 👍
I propagate a tropical hibiscus my grandpa gave me from Cayman Islands using honey as the root hormone and 3 of 4 rooted nicely and are looking really good and healthy today.
I put my cuttings in a cup of water until the roots came out and then put them in dirt, but think i will go with this method of straight to the dirt this summer. I think ill get some root hormone too to see if i notice any differences with the honey.
Woohoo!! I’m excited to give this a whirl.
Thank you for the suggestion! :D
Nice sharing 🌱✂️🌺👍
Thanks for visiting😊
Yeah moar learnings....I use my hibiscus in all my meads
I am propagating white and red hibiscus from hardwood cutting without rooting harmone... Result is 50-50 but i still get few more hibiscus plants for my terrace garden
I'm sure you have some honey laying around, just dip the cuttings in that and you'll improve your odds.
Hardwood cuttings can also be taken anytime, including late Fall and Winter..
Do you remove the plastic to add water every few days?
The plastic should keep the humidity high, but it is a good idea to check the moisture. If the soil feels like it is drying out to the touch then water.
@@PlantLifeYT Thanks! I'm giving it a try.
Do you water the cutting while it's under the dome for 6-8 weeks?
I check the moisture level to make sure it stays constant and water as needed. This will differ based on your environment.
What about big cuttings can it work still or not
The larger the cutting the more energy required to keep it alive. You can certainly try but you might have better success with smaller cuttings.
Can you root it without rooting hormone?
Most things can root without the hormone, but it often helps.
You cover it with plastic for how long I m interested to try this
It only needs to be covered until signs that the cutting started to root show. The cutting should show new growth and should be difficult to move when gently twisted.
Great Video, sadly I'm in zone 6b and they won't survive the Winters.
I miss all the Tropical flowers that you can grow in Florida.
My Brother in Jax has a second year Passion Fruit going this year.
Hibiscus work as indoor plants as well. I live in Belgium after years of wandering the globe. I’ve got a red hibiscus that spends summers outside and lives on my windowsill in winter. You’d have to prune it down every once in a while, but it could work. Pruning means fresh cuttings for friends!
@@eddavanleemputten9232 I thought of that, but my plant room is almost full this year with Rosemary and Thyme plants!
But I have researched a few "Hibiscus" for future thoughts next Spring, one which will survive here but needs to be cut almost to the ground each year (Which would certainly create LOTS of cuttings for friends and associates.)
@@farquarfarkle6957 - Plant room… lucky you! I make do with windowsills. Rosemary and thyme are such wonderful herbs, aren’t they? I have a rosemary bush in my garden that’s higher than my waist. Originally it was one of those small grocery store plants and I just plopped it in my little herb garden and let it go. I’ve taken multiple cuttings from it for friends but not this year.
Good luck with the hibiscus next spring!

@@farquarfarkle6957 - Switserland? Comparable to where I live, although more of a continental climate than where I live, and a higher elevation. Colder winters, too. Less humidity in the air. That means inside in winter. But it should work! I have family living in Switserland and they have a hibiscus on their windowsill. 😊
