Hibiscus Of Tahiti

Cuttings

Under Construction

It is considered that 80% of modern hybrids can be grown on their own roots simply by placing the cutting in a pot (many at once is fine) with pearlite, vermiculite, peat moss either by themselves or mixed together. They need to be kept moist and in a shaded area. They should either be misted frequently or covered with a plastic bag to maximize humidity. However, this works best with fresh wood. Wood that has been sent by mail is somewhat desiccated and much more likely to grow if grafted onto an established root stock. Moreover, some 20% of modern hybrids will only grow if grafted.
