Hibiscus Tree

16 years ago

I bought a Hibiscus Tree recently. I was wondering if it produced some kind of seeds or if you could take a branch cutting from it and root another tree? Is there anyway to make another one from this one tree?

Shera, I've never done it personally, but I've talked to people who rooted cuttings from their hibiscus..and several on the Tropical forum discussed sowing from seeds of their plants..
I'd imagine taking a 4" cutting, and placing in well-draining soil w/some type of plastic on top to creat a humid environment should do it..I believe some sun, (not direct) should be offered during time of rooting. Toni
