Mussaendra mutabilis cuttings

Wow we are getting questions on some unusual plants. Lol. Can't find anything anywhere on Mussaendra mutabilis propagation Terry so I did some look ups on what it is.

Apparently it is a member of the hibiscus family so genetically there is no reason why not. The best site on taking hibiscus cuttings is http://www.hibiscusworld.com/graft/prop1.htm. Can't guarantee it of course but my knowledge of the Doon valley in the North west Himalayas is somewhat limited. Haven't been there for years. Lol.

Personally I would go for it. Try every possible method.

I was told that the simple sweet bay tree was nearly impossible from cutting. Layering was the only way. So I tried cuttings and layering (including air layering) for about 3 years. Nothing. Last summer, when trimming my own bay I jokingly shoved 3 tips into some grit and sand mix. All 3 have taken. So, in view of the family I would certainly think worth trying.

If you need more info join a Tibetan forum. Lol. (Sorry - joke not sarcasm.)
