Your funny! The humming birds photo bombing was so cute ! One eyed Raven😂. I’m going to try this method when I find one I want to clip from. I have one that is just one stick that blooms , but it’s just 1 ft tall , it never grows.
A much easier and faster method with a higher success rate is putting cuttings some 2 inches deep in water. Add a couple of drops of hydrogene peroxide to keep bacteria at bay, and optionally add a homeopathic dosis of fertilizer. No need to put a plastic bag, neither any kind of rooting hormone. Keep cuttings warm and in partial shade. Change water as soon as it starts to look somewhat cloudy (every 2 to 3 days). Most hybrids will start to form roots after some 14 days. The more difficult to root hybrids may need some 3 to 4 weeks. Once roots are about 2 to 3 inches long, they can be potted up in regular soil. In easier to root hybrids the success rate is close to or equal to 100%. And even difficult to root hybrids (especially very fancy ones with broken colors) will have success, which else would always fail if put directly in soil.
Everyone has a preferred personal method :-) I am propagating rather rare (and expensive) species hibiscus, apart from numerous tropical hybrids. And the soil method didn't work too well. So I tried to get them to root in water and it was faster and more reliable. But that's just a personal preference.

Thank you for sharing. I am in the process of propagating my hibiscus and hydrangeas.
Great video just tried it this past Friday
Thanks for mentioning that you cut to expose the cambian layer. I've seen other do it. I probably would have cut all the way into the wood.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks 😊🎉
Thanks for watching!
Following you from South Africa - yay!

I thank you, but I can’t imagine an easier method than just sticking them in the soil.

How do you know which end to put in soil is it the end you clipped at nodes?
