I would reccomend using 6 to 8 inch tip cuttings in soil, remove the bottom half of the leaves from the stem before planting and keep the medium moist but not wet. It would not hurt to mist them and keep them out of strong sun for a few weeks untill they start to show some new growth. I have used this plant as a pollen donor with another hibiscus that does set seedpods and now have 14 seedlings that I will have to wait awhile to see what kind of new flowers I will get. Right now they are only about 3 or 4 inches tall. Heres a pic of the seed pod parent's flower... |
