That is a gorgeous hibiscus!

OK, now give us the full story on the tubs, when you put the cuttings in, how, when the lid went on and where have you been keeping them? I have never done anything like that before.

I have wide window sills in my basement and it is no man's land any way. In mid October I visited my sister. In case of frost, I quickly dumped pots and put stuff in big plastic bags on my window sill. After I got back I put that stuff in tubs, some with new potting mix. They stay on the windowsill and I don't do anything to them. Some of it lived some rotted. You don't want excessive water because there is no drainage. The plants that look the best like the damp. My basement is cool and the window sills are cold, but the plants survive until I get my lights going probably in March. My upstairs windows have narrow sills, so I am limited - don't have a nice glassed in porch. Neosho Wal-Mart has the smaller sized clear tubs with Christmas handles for $3.40 and big underbed with red tops for $4. Also the bigger size clear tubs for $4. Underbed tubs are good for my shelves to sit containers in to hold the water drainage. The others are cheap enough to put holes in the bottom and top if you wanted to winter sow in them. The milk jugs are good though because you can have a little of this and a little of that - kind of limits you which I need obviously.

Thanks for the input. I should buy the underbed ones to keep my yarn in.

What a nice picture. The cat and the hibiscus. I almost bought a hibiscus last year and think I will this year. The flowers are so pretty. I started out with a clear tub but never got the starts in it. Looks like you did pretty good with yours. Kathy S

Awww We had a cat named Shaggy that looked just like that when we first got married.
I envy your wide window sills. Looks like you have a LOT of plants started in those tubs. How fun!

I was looking up tomatoes and happened on this. I don't use the hormone powder but I bought some and it is somewhere. I meant to use it. My tubs are bigger than shoe size. Also I don't check them much. Glenda is making me use my new heat mat ha ha.
