I propagated two types of Rose of Sharon or Altheas by stem cuttings in soil, I show how I made the cuttings and planted them in soil in a mini greenhouse using a humidity dome. I used a Double Purple Rose of Sharon and a Red Heart Rose of Sharon. I will follow up in about a month and show how the Altheas did.

I think the Rose of Sharon is a loverly compliment to the garden I have one which is over 20yrs old and it has yellow petals and thanks for for your advice on showing us how to take cuttings you also have very good patience.
Never saw an update.
I’ve successfully propagated rose of Sharon a couple times now, each time I use clover as a companion plant and they seem to grow pretty good together. Rosa Sharon is turned into one of my favorite plants, they say you can eat the flower but I’m Not that hungry yet
What time of year can you do your cuttings?
I really like the Althea plant, thanks you so much for your information by taking cuttings. You are so interesting.
Thank you so much!! I love the plant too!
Do you have a picture/video update on these cuttings?
Just wondering where follow up is?
what a beautiful flower! the deep red colour in the center is amazing 💜
Yes it is a really pretty flower, thanks Neva
I have the one with the purple flowers. It has so many beautiful blooms on it now. I just have that one althea plant so I'm going to try to propagate more.
Awesome, I feel confident about this method, we will see in about a month!!
Planting shopping today saw a four foot rose of sharon for 95.00, decided i would try to frow from the one I have....I have done boxwood grapes and roses, this looks pretty much the same keeping moist is most important. Thank you for the info.
These plants seem to be becoming more popular again, looking forward to see if they root
Yes, Starting to see more of them around, I love this tree!!
There are a lot of new varieties, including dwarf bushes that are easier to site
Hey, man, I was wondering if the rooting of the Rose Of Sharon took? Going to take a shot at it myself today.
Looking for an update video. How did these turn out? Thank you. 😊
I want to see the results.
Where is the update like you said you were going to do
What is the best soil to use? I have a very sick Althea that is from my mothers yard, Unfortunately she lost hers from ants years ago. I am hoping that I can start over with a cutting.
Where do you get the stuff you are dipping them in thanks
I like trimming and placing cuttings into a cup of water until I'm ready to dip into hormone and stick into flat.
What are you dipping them in? I’ve tried this more than once and never successful
what time of year did you do this?
Wow that’s wild. I wonder if this work with rhododendron.
I thing it should work fine with rhododendron
How did it turn out. Did they take?.
Wanda, Out of all the cuttings i took this way the Rose of Sharon performed the worst, They are still alive and have small roots, but not enough to transplant yet, still hoping they root out enough to transplant this year, If not I will have my misting system ready next spring and will do more

It's been a month. How did the plants do?
Out of all that I did the rose of sharon performed the worst. they are starting to root, but not as successful as the oleander and vitex. I am going to have a mist system set up for next year and expect that to work with most all of my cuttings,,,I just posted a backyard nursery tour and I show them in that video
What are you dipping them in?
Its rooting hormone.
They would go alot faster if u cut all leaves off. U want the cutting to have the newest and most buds. The newer the buds the better so as soon as u see them starting to come out that's wen u wanna cut it and in just a week or 5 days they have new small leaves from the buds and roots starting. Any leaves are just too much even if u cut the leaf in half because then it'll take even longer because u created a wound and most of the time the leaves will die before new ones start. So it's a waste of time u gotta wait for them to fall before new starts because the plants struggling to revive a leaf instead of growing new ones. I don't even use hormones and iv done this with numerous different plants and trees every single one survived. U can also put any random cutting in a cup of water and nomatter wer u cut it it will grow in some place on it and soon as u see a bud start put it in dirt 3 or 4 days it'll start growing. The bud will start before roots in water.
Thank you. That was very helpful.
It looks like a cameila bush
