pearlgirl,
Yes, I have 2 hibiscus cuttings which I've planted directly into the ground? Are yours tropical hibiscus? I have read that they don't do very well in temperatures cooler than zone 9. You could plant them into pots, leave them outside all summer and then bring them inside for the winter, as long as they go in a nice sunny window.

I made cuttings in the fall and stuck them in a pot They have leafed out, but when I uprooted one it still had no roots tho it was still green. Is this normal?

Gardeniarose, no...my cuttings aren't tropical and thanks for your info.
Rosaholicme, some of my cuttings rooted in the water and things looked promising (they leafed out nicely)....and..as you said...some that were potted AND leafed out didn't even have roots! They've been planted into the earth now and here's hoping for at least a couple of good results. I have enough of good trade seeds (thanks to Louise :):)) and I'm treating them like rare gold LOL!!!!! I might have to order eventually but not before I give it a really good try myself.
