How to Grow Hibiscus from Cuttings Easily - Here in this video you are going to learn the simplest way to grow Hibiscus plant from cuttings and that's the reason why I said this as a Lazy method :-)
Growing Hibiscus from Cuttings is really very easy. You just need to follow the below steps -
1. Take 6-8 inches long softwood cuttings. Hibiscus is easy to root from softwood cuttings.
2. Remove most of the leaves. However, you can keep 2-4 leaves on each stems.
3. Cut the other parts of the stems in a diagonal order so that the more portions of cuttings can keep in contact with moist soil.
4. Take a medium size container (6 inch would work) and fill it with potting soil mix. However, I didn't prepare any kind of potting soil mix. I just reused old soil. To stay on a safer side, you can use only Sand.
5. Insert the stems into the soil and please ensure at least 1 inch of stems remains inside the soil.
6. Water thoroughly and then keep the pot in a bright area. Please be careful while watering for the next time and you can let the top soil dry out a bit. You have to keep the oil moist, not wet. The stems would rot very easily if the soil is too wet.
7. When you see new growth, wait for another 7-10 days. Then you can keep it under direct sunlight for next 10-15 days.
8. You are done and now you can easily transplant them :-)
The best time to grow Hibiscus from cuttings is either Spring season or Rainy season. Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much for watching the video, have a great day :-)
