Thank you for watching :) and i hope i was able to help you :) let me know how your project goes. these plants root VERY easily from cuttings with very little effort.

Thank you for your video - so simple, straightforward, & to the point. Really appreciate it!!

Thank you for watching :) and good luck with your cuttings :)

I love hibiscus! So many colours and so easy to propagate! Thanks for mak8ng it easy!

Thanks for watching :) they are a good plant to take cuttings from :) they seem to root easily :)

Thanks for watching :)

Thank you for watching :)

Best propagating video I've found by far. You explained so much more then the last 5 videos I've watched.

Thanks :) Feel free to join my Facebook page. :)

Really enjoyed watching you start cuttings Of Hibiscus. Think I'll try it!

Thank you. I planted several hibiscus cuttings as shown, about 7 - 8 months ago and every one grew to perfection. I was able to use one myself and gave away the others. All have flowered wonderfully,

My cuttings are all looking great. and the roots are coming through the bottom of the pot.. i will need to split them up soon :) i keep my plant lush by doing maintanence prunning and regular feedings. the leaves for the most part are glossy by nature.

OMG! I love the watering can.....a watering can & sprayer! Great video thanks!

you can also root them in water , I do this all the time and they all take , best time is March and April in my area of Texas

Very informational and interesting. He is knowledgeable and explains his process thoroughly. Can't wait to see my new hibiscus seeds grow.

Great video! I had the same problem with white flies for years and lost several Hibiscus until I came across the formula below. 50% Water and Rubbing Alcohol 1/4 sp Murphy's Oil 1/4 sp Dish soap (Ivory/palmolive) This has worked great for me and shines the leaves as well. Good Luck.

That’s very cool. I will definitely try it. Thank you.🌺

Thanks for these videos! I inherited a hibiscus from a friend and these really help.

i pruned my hibiscus today and planted 6 of my cuttings ... great video!

Thank you! :) I also used to have a problem with my hibiscus and whitefly a few years ago. I've been lucky enough not to have that problem for the past few years... To control the whitefly i would use those yellow sticky strips as well as spraying with insecticidal soap every so often. you can also mix dishsoap and water and spray that if you don't want to use insecticidal soap. just remeber to not disturb the plant before you spray.. or they will fly off the plant.

Greatly Appreciate all your knowledgeable sharing! :)

Great video!!! Learning so much from you! and your piglet watering can is too cute!!!

Thanks for these hints. The explanation was excellent.

Thanks for the videos you are producing. So far you give the best advice that WORKS. You are the only one who says to remove buds to stimulate leaf growth, I tried that on my suffering Creole Lady and its putting foliage back on after I almost drowned it.

I'm Glad you liked my Video... and Good Luck with your cuttings :) keep me posted when you do them

Thats the cutest watering can :)

Thank you for this video! I found it from searching a different plant. I cannot believe this!! I live in Tampa Fl for about 18 years. I had NO idea I could grow new plants from stem cuttings. :D I can find some that are used as ornamental flowers for i.e., at the entrances of subdivisions, or stores. They are common to find and see here in FL. I think I may take a few 'snips' of a few I can find when out and about. I LOVE the double hibiscus. I took out a few of my hibiscus because they got 'woody' or leggy looking. Stems got very long but when I would prune, I couldn't get it to shoot new stems from where I pruned and it just kept growing in that leggy stemy looking fashion. Was ugly, so I dug them out after having them a few years. UUGGHH

Like your video. Simple and to the point.

Very simple, basic, and helpful! Thank-you so much!

Thanks for sharing your video. Very interesting. I propagated my hibiscus cuttings today, I will find out in a few weeks see how it goes. I used perlites and rooting hormones and cover it with plastic bags with with little holes for ventilation. Also I live in zone 10, in Florida. Thanks again.

Really enjoyed your very clear information video. Thank you.

Awesome!!! I hope you have great success :) they are Very beautiful plants

Great video, and great timing. I am about to prune our hibiscus, and bring it in before the cold weather (It did well in the house last winter). I am looking forward to trying to do some stem cuttings following your advise. Thank you.

Great! Thank you for the suggestion! I will have to try that out

great video.

Thank you SO MUCH! This has been SO helpful!!!!

Great video. I used the ziplock bags and followed the instructions and it worked great. Thanks for this tutorial as I grow a lot of Hibiscus here in Jamaica and this made my job easier as I use to do it the old way by ciscumposing them.

Thanks for the link, will plant some tomorrow ;)

Very informative - thank you. I'll be trying this out this year. Keep up the good work

thank you so much for your video!!!! regards!!!! from malta and serbia :))))

Thank you for responding.Do you have a video on taking seeds?? I would love to try that.My hibiscus are the giant variety, blooms the size of dinner plates.Just gorgeous and I would love to have more.

YOUR VIDEO WAS VERY HELPFULL FOR ME

I love ur videos very informative and in detail n updates u did it all your great thank you

I love Hibiscus, and luckily I found that Video from a Hibiscus lover. I do have an Indoors Hibiscus for two years now that has grown greener, but never bloomed yet! I will try all your recommendations in your 2 videos that I have watched and will let you know, Thanks!

Hibiscus is Malaysia's national flower!

Greetings :) Bud loss is a common problem with hibiscus when they are stressed or their cultural needs aren't met. make sure your plant is well watered and fed. also try not to move your plant around too much and keep it away from cold drafts if growing indoors.

I really enjoyed the video and will try it. Thanks so much!

Your welcome. :) I'm Glad you enjoyed my video :)

i just got through watching your video( the after video) showing the new growth you have, and it is incredible( at least to me) the results you got, i've been trying to do the same with no success ...but i see some things you did different such as the zip-lock bag..and the "more" humidity ...so i will try and see...thanks for your vid...

Cutest watering can EVER!

i had no idea these Hibiscus plants could be replanted without actual roots! awesome! what season would be best to do this?

Great videos, thanks.

Awesome video I will try!! :D

Hydrangeas need lots of water... a partial shade location might be a benefit if your area tends to get really hot.. even here in the middle of summer my plants will wilt mid day and look nice when the sun goes down.. that's normal.. just make sure to water often.. that should help a bit. For your hibiscus cuttings.. a little burn is ok.. it's trying to generate roots so it might be stressed.. open the bage to let it breathe then close it to keep in some humidity. good luck :)

great video will try

I have never heard of that plant! now i'll have to google it :)

It's good to see a man so at one with his pink elephant

Thank for the great tips. I will do what you say and let you know what happens .

Thank you :) I will remember the Neem oil if the whitefly becomes an issue in the future. and as for cutting the leaves in half. You can if you like, i didn't and they rooted with no issue and i didn't even have wilt in the beginning. I was a little surprised at that.

i have a plant that all but died after i bought it, only 2 branches are alive, going to try this method to make another plant, thank you and wish me luck

You can try planting them directly in the soil.. i think that starting them in a pot with a nice light soil mix is easier to maintain the right moisture level... as for using a plastic bag if planting them in the ground directly... you don't need to use a plastic bag but it is beneficial to use something to keep the humidity in... maybe you can cut the bottom off a pop bottle... remember not to keep them in direct sun when your trying to root them. good luck :)

Mine is sick. However I cut a few stems and I'm cleaning them with a garlic in alcohol solution. I hope it works. Meanwhile I'll keep them in a ziplock bag like you did. Shall I let the bag under the sun? I'll let you know in three weeks. Fingers crossed!

Sure they do :) Hibiscus are heavy feeders when they are actively growing... just be sure that the Manure you use is well composted.. you don't want to burn the roots. :) you can make a Manure tea and water the plant with it :) it might like that too.

you want to keep the cuttings in the 70's ish... so if you need to bring it indoors that an option :) i used a ziploc bag to hold in the humidity so the leaves would stay hydrated when there are no roots to pull water from the soil. you want to keep the soil moist but not soggy... so watering is a judgement call.. when you use a ziploc bag you might need to add water once.. Hope this helps :)

@Marieta Ojeda Sounds like you might be dealing with either too much water or the plant is too dry the yellowing leaves give that away. What is your watering schedule?

add some tobacco juice with soap , dilute with water , by spraying this you can prevent insects .its easy to make. we use this method for organic vegetable farming . good luck.

I'm so happy to know this information. I just bought 2 tall hibiscus trees but when I put them in my car (carefully) a branch broke off. The only questions I have is whether the cuttings should be at 45 degree angle? Do they need to be dipped in root starter? Can I make several cuttings from the one branch? Its about 2 feet long, with lots of other small branches coming off that one big one, so I have lots of potential!

interresting

In 2 or 3 weeks you should start to see some roots. I would place your cuttings in a bright indirect location... If it gets full sun it might wilt... Good luck with your cuttings :)

A fertilizer with a high middle number (phosphorus) helps with the production of healthy root systems. I wouldn't use fertilizer until the cuttings have rooted.. it is easier to burn the new roots... best to be on the careful side

Good instruction. You mention the month and your area... pls tell WHERE that is.

very nice bro

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thanks

Check it regularly. the soil needs to stay evenly moist.

a few weeks. if too much humidity builds you might have to open it sooner for a few hours. you don't want mold to form.. so just watch the cuttings

Those ones are also more hardy... they are perennials in my area :) The ones with the huge flowers i mean. still very beautiful plants

Thank you I had 4 hibiscus and 3 died now I can get more.

Thanks for reply my friend.

Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis is hardy to zone 9-10 so you will have to check your zone before planting it in the ground and leaving it. how big are your plants? i'm sure they're stunning :)

I also have a hard time with that. the pods tend to fall off with the flower a lot of the time.

Good Luck :)

I didn't use any. if you want to use a little it won't hurt.. :)

Well, I really want to know how not to kill them. I live in Houston and it can get really hot here so right now i am wondering if they are just indoors/ basket plants. I got two pretty plants last Friday, let them outside, the weather is been nice (66) but this afternoon the pom poms look withered. I am guessing too much sun? Also, my Hibiscus stem cuttings have burn leaves. Is this normal? I just opened the ziploc bag. Should I close it again? Thank you so much for taking the time and replying

if you want to try and collect seeds i would leave it on.. however i always pull mine off.. remember to remove the flower stem as well :)

what do you do with the leaf that you taking out? what do you do during fall and winter? in California is warm but it can get cool at night, so should a one brings it inside during night?

Thank you! I didn't you can grow hibiscus from cutting. I just bought my first plant yesterday and I'm planning to do what you just did.

sure you can dust some on. but they root fairly easily without it.

:) Thank you. And good luck :)

Thanks, great video, I've recently inherited a hibiscus from my in-laws when they moved. It is about 4 ft. across and 5 ft. tall. and I do not have room for it inside during the winter months. It has sentimental value so I do not wish to get rid of it. Can I prune it in the winter and is it possible to start from trimmings in the winter indoors?

Thanks for the Tip. I've never heard of that soap. where do you buy it?

Thanks for this video. I propagated 4 clippings about 45 days ago. I used red cups with holes in the bottom. They're doing great in the zip locks, moister builds up up easily keeping the soil wet all the time. I open them once a week to let them ai out for an hour or so. Since the cups are opaque how will I know when I have a root system enough to remove from the zip locks and up pot?

can that be used for scale as well?

What's the typical success rate for this kind of propagation? I tried it with 1 branch and it's been about a week, the little sappling is wilting heavily and doesn't look so good. I'm afraid to dig it up and check on the status of it's new roots (if they've even grown) because I suspect they're very fragile at the moment.

neem oil works really well for whiteflies. Should you clip the leaves in half

Thanks!

Hi Bill, If you happen to see and answer these old videos I could really use some Hibiscus help! I bought my first Hibiscus, 1 braided tree and 2 shrubs. I pruned and have done your tips above to propagate for the first time. However...I did not separate the cuttings between tree and shrub. Is there a difference? Any tips for your fellow Canadian? Thanks :)

if the leaves begin to wilt a couple days after propagating what could be going wrong...or is that normal a few days after propagating a cutting

Thank you for your detailed instructions. I do have a question regarding the ziplock bag. I live in Northern California (San Jose), will I need to do the zip lock method and bring it in doors as well? Also, how often do you water it within the 2 weeks while it's rooting?

Thanks, great video - very clear and precise explanation, yet simple method - can't wait to try this. BTW how do you keep your plant looking so lush, healthy and green (what's your secret). Very beautiful color also.
