Hibiscus blooms in autumn, with large and beautiful flowers, a long flowering period, and vigorous blooming. If you want your hibiscus to burst into a full pot, you need to master the cutting method, and one pot can become many pots, blooming vigorously. Below we introduce the cutting method for hibiscus!

Cutting method for hibiscus:

The best time for cuttings is winter and spring after the flowering period.

(1). Choose healthy, plump young shoots of the current year as cuttings, or use semi-hardwood branches as cuttings. If the cutting has flower buds, cut the buds off. When cutting, keep 3~5 nodes, the cutting length is 10~15cm, keep 3~5 leaves at the top, remove the other leaves to reduce water evaporation. Make the cut smooth and even, and place it in a cool place to let the wound heal before use.

(2). Prepare the soil; vermiculite can be used. It is easygoing in nature and not demanding about soil quality. Put the vermiculite into a flower pot.

(3). Soak the bottom of the cutting in diluted potassium permanganate solution for 15~30 minutes to make it easier to survive. Then insert it into the soil to a depth of one half of the cutting. Use a spray bottle to mist and keep the soil moist, and keep it in a cool place for care, which can promote sprouting and rooting. After 2~3 new leaves grow, you can apply dilute liquid fertilizer and properly deal with weeds.

(4). Transplant and set in place. Choose a well-ventilated environment. During the growing season there must be enough water. In winter, move it indoors to overwinter at a temperature of 0°C to 5°C. If planted well, it can bloom in the same year.
