Hi everyone in this forum. Have always loved Hibiscus but never really tried rooting the different types. I have been getting very good at rooting cuttings on other types of plants and would love to try some Hibiscus. Anyone out there have any that need trimmed back a bit, or you wouldnt mind sharing a snip or two? I will gladly pay postage, including the cost of the box or trade if I happen to have anything you are interested in. I hope to get a lot of different kinds so I can see which ones I can get to root. It will be a fun experiment and I will be glad to post my results here. I will be using a raised station with an overhead mist system an will post all details and all results in hopes that it will help someone here down the road. Now all I need are cuttings from many different types. Anyone?
Thanks
Getting good with cuttings and would like to try Hibiscus
Can you root Hibiscus from cuttings?
dstarz--what's the procedure with tropicals? Got no problem with the natives--seeds!
Here is a link to another thread where I posted a lot of info and pictures on how I root cuttings of all kinds around here. So far(knock on wood), everything I've tried to root this year has rooted in record time with these rooting cubes.
I have some friends here that have been fighting with them but I know its due to over watering. I soak the cubes initially and won't water them again for a week. When I do water again, I add water to the bottom of the tray and let the cubes wick the water needed and then drain off what they don't in 5-10 minutes.
Goodluck, JD
Hi all, when I started this thread I wasnt looking for instructions on how to root cuttings. As I indicated I have gotten pretty good at that. I was actually hoping to find some folks out there that might be cutting back thier hibiscus shrubs a bit and could send me some cuttings to try. If anyone out there has some cuttings to spare I would appreciate it. Would be happy to trade or send postage. Just wanted to put my thread back on track, it seems to have gotten sidetracked. Thanks
slgrowers we have a thread on here where we are going to list what we have and then root ours and have a swap when they get ready.
Here's a link if you would like to join in. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/490229/
What do you have to trade?
