i moved one last month,a few tips broke in the move.i just dipped in rooting hormine and stuck in a pot,put it in the shade check the soil for watering,and the they're gtowing.never even lost a leaf.good luck.patricia

i took clippings from my mil and brought them home, dipped in rooting horomone, and into the soil they went, i misted them, and kept the soil watered like you do regularly. now i have roots. i am so happy!! LOL i kept them on the front porch which is bright shade, it gets late sun. so its like maybe 2 hours? ~Medo

I made cuttings this summer as well. A turn of the century and a Luna hybrid that I can't find the tag for now. Three cuttings rooted and were potted this morning. I stuck about 12. My soil had a fungus that killed the others. I'm learning. Now I use sand/peat mixture rather than potting soil.

Tropical hibiscus cuttings are very easy to root in soil or even water. I take semi hardwood cuttings about 5" long, strip most of the foliage and any buds then stick them in soil and keep them warm & moist. I don't bother with rooting hormones. I've also stuck cuttings in a glass of water with bottom heat. I don't know if it works with the hardy varieties.
