See More Garden Goodies: http://www.WisconsinGarden.com - - - Today we’ll be transplanting giant hardy hibiscus baby plants that have seeded themselves last year. Unfortunately they grew in our pathway to the gazebo work area. We’ll put them in pots and eventually find a new area in our garden for them to grow. But first I’ll be using a rooting hormone to help stimulate root growth as well. Then with a balanced mixture of potting soil and some organic fertilizer and a lot of watering, we hope the majority of these beautiful babies will survive.

Yes I love Clone-X gel so much better then the powder worthless stuff you find at your home depot or Lowes .

I just transplanted 3 hardy hibiscus will they come back and survive the winter and come up in early summer

I love hibiscus! In Central WI I have a large tie dye, kopper king and had 2 luna rosa's but one did not make it through our harsh Winter, not enough snow cover last year - I will mulch better this year :) I will poke around and see if I can find "babies" too. Never even thought about looking for them. Thanks for the great video!

I just love Hibiscus! My poor Hardy Hibiscus seems to be be stunted a bit. Any ideas why they aren't growing as tall as they used to?

I would cut the tops off those small hibiscus plants you just potted...ratio of leaves to roots is too large.....I'd cut those to 1/2 that height...

Try watering them with willow water. Willow has a natural rooting hormone that encourages root growth, that's why willows root very easily. Just take willow leaves and branches and soak in water over night and then water them with the willow water.
