Horticulture is God's gift to me. It is my escape from the things that would otherwise take a toll on life. It has taught me so many lessons.

This hibiscus is a common rootstock on to which hybrids have been #grafted, three varieties are in bloom.

Yes @Kathy I did them. I was taught how to do it by another horticulturist in my community years ago. He has been practising for over twenty years.Do you know how to do and have you ever attempted it? I have also tried #budding some rose but they aren't doing too great.

I know how to do this but admit I have never tried. Budding is not the easiest way to propagate

Apparently putting pruned stems can be by putting the separate stems into a potato and then planting them in the soil is another way of doing this

Yes @Kathy budding is not the easiest #Vegetativepropagation method I must confess .I don't do it often.
