I had a very tall texas star hibiscus. It grew to about five feet in less than two months. A thunderstorm knocked down some of the larger canes the other night. I took several cuttings (leaving only one leaf per cutting), dipped in rooting hormone and potted in a mixture of perlite and peat moss. I've been watering frequenlty past few days and keep the cuttings in a sunny spot. Am I wasting my time with this or will these take? About how long should this take. I ask because they dont look so great. And I guess I don't need more plants. I was just ticked off because the wind messed up a great plant. I've done this before with tropical varities, but not a coccineus.
