2 Hibiscus in same pot

10 years ago

I bought a hibiscus that is blooming pink and yellow flowers. My guess is two different cuttings ended up in the same pot. Should I separate? The plant is about 1 year old I think, and not sure how big it will get.

Natieb,
From experience, I have only attempted this once, and was lucky to have success. This is a common practice with box store nurseries, and separating the two plants is the equivalent of a major surgery in the plant world. I do have other plants in the same situation, and found it easier to start a new cutting of the original versus the separation.
I would let sleeping dogs lie.

Pappa: As in anything the only stupid question is the one that is not asked! As far as two Hibiscus in a pot? many variables would have to be known to answer this...but I have grown many Hibiscus two or more in an appropriate size pot with great results. As you suggested...too see the different colours together would be nice and make an interesting display. Go ahead and plant them up together; experiment...therein lies the true pleasure in gardening.

I propagated a cutting from a tropical double salmon hibiscus that was still blooming in mid December! It IS possible, but that depends on the kind of fall we get.
