CLOSED: Ready to trade Hibiscus Cuttings???
I winter in Florida, how do you like this one?
That is really nice! I like it! Florida is a great place to winter. LOL!
We leave in 2 weeks, visit with our son in KY for a week and arrive in Cocoa Beach by the 15th of Oct. I'll take photos of whats available if you can wait that
long.
Sure, I can wait. I stop trading plants around Janurary!

I have both a red capitalio and a peach capitalio. If you'll tell me how to cut I can send to you.

I saw a Gold Coast City on this website but not a Gulf Coast City. Typo maybe?
Anne
Hi
Gulf Coast City is not it and they seem to no longer have my double peach. Here is a photo of what mine looks like in bloom. http://www.lakeareanursery.com/hibiscus/HibiscusDblPeach.jpg
I am very interested in both your hibiscus. They are very easy. Just measure seven inches from the tip of each stem and cut, remove all the leaves except for the tiny new leaves at the top. Then wrap the cut ends with paper towels. Wet the towels then enclose the whole thing in a large zip lock bag and mail. The zip lock bag acts as a little green house.
What can I send you?
Ok I'll get onto it this evening. The Lavendar Chiffon and Smokey Mountain are pretty. Either/or would be nice.
Anne
Have this one. Do not know the name.

I'm very new to hibiscus but would love a variegated one. I have this one I could take cuttings from, but you'd have to walk me through the process.
blpender
blpender,
Is that hibiscus a double orange?
TARogers5,
I would love to trade cuttings with you. I don't know its name but I know I don't have it.
AuntAnne,
I can send you cuttings of both hibiscus.
Is it ok if most of the cutting is green, or does it need to be woody?
Anne
Yes, it's a double orange, but it's more "sherbet" orange, than pumpkin orange. I'll try to get a better picture today and send it to you privately.
blpender
This picture shows a more accurate color on the double orange. I also have a single, bright orange with a pink throat but it isn't big enough to take cuttings yet.
blpender
blpender,
I would love to trade for your double orange. I can send out Monday or Tues.
Let me know which variegated hibiscus you are interested in.
Thanks
Daisy,
I have the disco belle pink. It is a hardy bush. Mine grows to be about 4' tall.
Would you want some starts of it?
Let me know.
Lisa
PS I can email you a pic if you would like.

Flower junkie: have chinese lantern hib can trade cuttings from (see pic)
Blpender: interested in trading for your orange hib. other hibs I have include light pink, red, and bright yellow (not pale)
Should these cutting be green or woody???
Tip cuttings are best. But woody cuttings will root as well.
Flowerjunkie: are u interested in my chinese lantern?
Anaid,
My double orange is little. I'll be happy to give you some cuttings next year, when she's a little bigger.
Anyone,
I received some cuttings yesterday, with no istructions on the best way to root them. Can someone help me out, here. I'm very new to tropical hibiscus. These guys are a little wilted, and I sure don't want to lose them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
blpender
I just remove all the leaves except for a couple on the very tip. put them in water, change the water every two or three days, and wait for them to grow roots. I have tried other ways but this works for me the best.
Thank you. Do they need a plastic "tent" to keep in the humidity?
blpender
I don't use one when they are in water. Now if you are going to try to root them in soil yes. But I have never had any luck doing it this way. I only have a very small amount of a green thumb. But I have read where others do it that way and have great luck.
I take the cuttings and put them in any type of soil...what ever is handy but not dirt from your yard. I keep them moist in a well ventilated area and they root. I can not root anything in water because it rots on me before two or three days. LOL!
2pugdogs, Are you using regular tap water, and are your cuttings outside in sun or shade, or in a greenhouse?
I have them in regular tap water sitting behind my kitchen sink faucets.
I only do a few at a time.
