How to propagate the welcoming hibiscus

1. Cutting method

If you want to propagate the Welcoming Hibiscus, you can generally use the method of cuttings. Cuttings are more suitable to be started in autumn after its leaves have fallen. At the beginning, we can select some branches that grow better, then cut them into small sections of 15 to 20 cm long, put them together and store them in the sand in a sunny place over the winter. Wait until February or March of the following spring to take out their branches and insert them into an open-air seedling bed. Generally, the part exposed above the ground should not be larger than 10 cm. Then cover them with a layer of grass to prevent spring cold. The survival rate of this cutting method can generally reach over 95%.

2. Division method

Generally, division begins in early spring before the old plants sprout. We first need to dig the old plants out of the soil, and then follow the trend of the roots to divide them into several groups of dry plants, and then plant them in fertilized soil. It is generally best to choose wet soil for planting, and then water it after a week. Plants propagated by division grow very fast and can basically bloom in the same year.

3. Layering method

Between July and August every year, we can bend its branches and bury them in the soil. After a month, the branches pressed in the soil will grow new roots. Then after another month, we can cut off the mother plant, bury it in a greenhouse or cellar to spend the winter, and then plant it in the open soil in the spring.

4. Sowing Methods

In addition, it can also be propagated by sowing. Generally, the seeds of hibiscus flowers have cilia on them, which can float in the wind, then fall to the ground and begin to germinate, and then begin to reproduce on their own. Of course, you can also gather the seeds artificially and then sow them, and some can begin to bloom in the same year.
