Mode of Propagation
How to plant/cultivate
A common way to propagate tropical hibiscus is through stem cuttings. The cuttings should be about 8 inches long, with the stem cut at an angle. The cut should be made directly through a leaf node. All but the top two leaves must be removed, as well as any buds or flowers. The planting medium commonly used is coarse builder's sand or perlite. [4]
