How do you propegate an indoor Hibiscus?

Question

I have a giant hibiscus that I keep indoors (zone 4) and I would like to propegate some cuttings. It came from my brother's funeral 15 years ago and I don't want to kill it, but it needs a serious pruning.
If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it because this plant has a lot of sentimental value to me.

Answer 1

Some varieties will root easily in a medium like perlite using rooting hormones, while others are very difficult to root. Air-layering can also be used. Propagation of hybrids is usually done by grafting to a proven rootstock variety to assure vigor and to efficiently use the hybrids' wood.
