Grafting is a common method for propagating woody plants such as hibiscus. One reason for grafting a hibiscus is to use the root system of a strong variety to help support the growth of a less hardy variety. It is also a much faster way to grow new plants than starting with seeds. There are many methods for grafting plants. Some are quite involved and require a lot of skill and practice to perfect, so it's no wonder that many gardeners are leery of trying it. Fortunately, the grafting method used for hibiscus is a simple one and hibiscus plants are not very fussy. Grafting a hibiscus is usually successful even if the technique isn't perfect.
Identify the root stock, the hibiscus that will be planted in the ground, and the scion, the hibiscus cutting that will be grafted onto the root stock.
Select a healthy stem on the root stock that is about the same thickness of your scion cutting. Cut it back to the ground until there are only about 4 to 6 inches of it above ground.
