Do you love hibiscus flowers? Did you know you can grow them indoors? You can also grow hibiscus from a cutting! Did you know that if you live somewhere with a cooler climate you can still enjoy their beauty year round? I recently discovered that these gorgeous tropical blooms do wonderful indoors.

Instructions
1) cut a 4-6 inch branch from a hibiscus plant
2) trim off all leaves except for those at the tip of the branch
3) fill a small pot that has good drainage 3/4 full with soil
4) fill two small bowls with honey and ground cinnamon
5) dip the cut end of the hibiscus branch into the honey & then into the cinnamon
6) place branch upright in the dirt & sprinkle 1/2 inch more soil
7) gently water the soil and let the pot drain
8) place the pot in a sunny window and cover with a large mason jar. Place a small saucer or a piece of cloth underneath to protect your window sill.
9) wait several months until branch has rooted and new leaves have appeared
10) remove glass and place in window uncovered, water when soil is dry

Tips: After you have learned to grow hibiscus from a cutting: repot hibiscus into a larger pot once it has established new leaves, hibiscus prefers full sun and western or southern facing light. Hibiscus can be placed outdoors but cannot survive freezing temperatures. A wonderful zero waste organic fertilizer to encourage blooms is EarthPods Hibiscus Plant Food.
