How to spread the hibiscus from the flower buds, and with what success?
Lihibiscus is a beautiful plant appreciated for its vibrant and colorful flowers. If you want to spread your hibiscus from the flower buds, there are relatively simple ways to do it successfully. Here are some steps to follow to multiply your dihibiscus plants:
Preparation of flower buds
Before you start the propagation process, it is essential to choose healthy and vigorous flower buds on your dihibiscus plant. Make sure they have no signs of disease and that they are well developed to ensure better results.
Soil preparation
Prepare a mixture of soil and perlite to create a light and well drained substrate. Fill small pots of this mixture and make sure they are clean to avoid contamination.
Propagation of flower buds
- First, gently remove the petals from the flower bud. Now you should see the ovary under the petals.
- With a sharp and clean knife, cut the ovary in half to expose the seeds inside.
- Place the seeds in moist soil and cover them slightly with soil.
Post-planting care
After planting the seeds, place the pots in a bright but indirect place. Maintain moist but not wet substrate to promote seed germination.
Transplantation of cuttings
Once the young plants begin to grow, you can transplant them into larger pots to promote their growth. Be sure to keep them safe from air currents and excessive temperature variations.
Successful propagation
The spread of libiscus from the flower buds can be successful if the steps are carefully followed. In general, the success rate varies depending on the variety of hibiscus and the conditions of growth. With careful care and an enabling environment, you can hope to get new healthy plants from the flower buds of your hibiscus.
