Answer 2

Both the hibiscus and viburnum should root fine from your cuttings. They may produce some root from just the cut end of green wood, but to get sure-fire rooting, make sure each cutting has a node (joint where leaves form) under the soil. These nodes produce good strong root. Keep the rooting medium damp and check them for root formation in a couple of weeks. If they're kept warm enough, you should have enough root to transplant to pots of sterile medium in that time. Hardy hibiscus and viburnmum will both be fine to transplant out to your garden in mid October. That will be pushing it a bit to get enough root to stay viable if you only just started your cuttings, but they might very well make it. Hit them with some root stimulator when you plant them in the ground and mulch for this first year. If it's a terribly dry winter, a couple of waterings during the winter is not a bad idea, too.

Hibiscus can be propagated by cuttings. "Cuttings: Cuttings can be rooted at anytime that new growth is available, although rooting is usually quickest in spring. Start with pencil thick, five to six inch long cuttings of firm new growth. Strip off lower leaves and insert the cutting in a mix of three parts sand and one part peat. Roots should form within four to five weeks. Once roots are formed plants can be moved into a larger container or transplanted to a permanent location. "



Do you know what kind of viburnum you have? Different types are propagated using different methods..

in case you reside interior the northern hemisphere, it extremely is not the surprising time of 12 months which you would be transplanting issues. Your hisbiscus needed to take somewhat wintry climate nap, and you under pressure it out. i'm optimistic it extremely is going to proceed to exist, yet next time you transplant it, do it interior the spring or summer. each so often, if a plant is potbound (too massive for its pot), the roots have curled around and could be strangling the plant. it extremely is not a nasty concept to loosen the roots somewhat once you transplant something.
