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!

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.

Woohoo!! I’m excited to give this a whirl.

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.

Thank you for the lesson I’m trying with three little pieces in three different pots and hoping one or all 3 will work

Question: can I grow this in a pot with no holes, but with rocks as a draining system on the bottom? And I live in San Diego right now is September, how long can I grow a brand new cutting outside till it gets to cold? What is their temperature range, and favorite temperatures?

Love your channels, sadly I don’t give this as much attention as the brews but I did have a question about drying hibiscus to make tea. I have a huge midnight marvel hardy hibiscus and was curious if you can harvest this to make tea and if you have or could make a video to help me figure out harvesting?

[johndavis]

Yeah moar learnings....I use my hibiscus in all my meads

[j.spallin]

So many top tips and tricks here. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! Question: have you tried using cinnamon powder as a root hormone? I've heard it can be as effective with hibiscus—if that's the case, I'd switch to that since it's natural/cheap/in my drawer. Cheers!

Hi thank you for your awesome sharing. Is there anything I can use / drip to replace the green bottle (“Fast Roots”) ? And following your method, do you meant we only check back the plants after 2 months to see if the roots are growing? Why do you prefer first planting in the soil vs the use of water? Thank Ü very much! 😊

[CherylHamilton]

Do you remove the plastic to add water every few days?

[farquarfarkle]

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.

I ordered cuttings and I got them with roots but no foliage! After I planted how long does it typically take to see foliage growth?

[BijnorCity]

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

[liberatedlioness]

Do you water the cutting while it's under the dome for 6-8 weeks?

[djkingyadahchamangurangura]

You cover it with plastic for how long I m interested to try this

[xXxKingjonxXx]

Can you root it without rooting hormone?

[djkingyadahchamangurangura]

What about big cuttings can it work still or not

[nesq]

But the the green part never gives me roots the thicker older ones but newly made bark gives me roots

Hardwood cuttings can also be taken anytime, including late Fall and Winter..
