How to propagate hibiscus and what to pay attention to

Hibiscus flower propagation method

There are several ways to propagate hibiscus: cuttings, layering, sowing and division. Among these methods, the most commonly used method is cuttings, because this method is the fastest and has a high survival rate.

Hibiscus seed propagation

Hibiscus seeds can be propagated, usually in March and April each year, when the temperature and climate are more suitable for its growth.

The natural way for hibiscus to reproduce is through seed propagation. Although this method of reproduction is time-consuming, its survival rate is relatively high.

Hibiscus flower breeding time

If hibiscus is propagated by division, it is recommended to do it in February and March. The temperature and climate environment at this time are more suitable for its growth, the growth rate is faster, and the success rate is also relatively high.

Hibiscus flower division propagation

Hibiscus is propagated by division, usually in February or March each year. The plants are dug out of the soil, divided into several clumps, then planted in wet soil and the soil is compacted.

Hibiscus cutting propagation

When propagating hibiscus by cuttings, it is generally best to do it in late autumn and early winter. It is best to wait until the leaves have fallen. The survival rate will be highest if the cuttings are stored until the spring of the following year.

Hibiscus seed propagation

When hibiscus is propagated by seeds, it is sown in March and April every year. It requires a suitable temperature and climate, and it will generally bloom in the same year.

Hibiscus leaf cutting propagation

Hibiscus is propagated by leaf cuttings, which is usually done in spring and autumn every year. The cuttings should generally be healthy leaves without diseases and pests, as the survival rate is relatively high.

Hydroponic Hibiscus Propagation

To grow hibiscus in water, you need to cut some larger leaves with petioles from the hibiscus mother plant, prepare a clean transparent glass container, put some clean water in it, and bring the disinfected hibiscus leaves into contact with the water surface.

Hibiscus breeding precautions

When propagating hibiscus, you need to pay attention to the fact that it has strong growth ability and low soil requirements. It is best to use fertile soil with good drainage. When maintaining it, it needs a good ventilation environment and sufficient sunlight.
