About

Have you ever wanted to create new hibiscus plants by grafting cuttings? Join the Australian Hibiscus Society for a hands-on grafting workshop where you’ll learn the fundamentals of grafting hibiscus and take home practical skills you can use straight away.

This workshop is designed for beginners and hobby growers, but experienced gardeners are also welcome. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the grafting process, including how to choose suitable rootstock and scion material, prepare clean cuts, secure the graft, and care for your plant while it heals.

You’ll have the opportunity to practise during the session and ask questions along the way.

Materials provided:
10 root stock in tubes ready for grafting.
10 root stock in tubes to take home and grow.
10 scions from selected hibiscus plants.
Grafting tape.
Cut resistant glove.
Use of a grafting knife or utility knife.
Use of pruners or secateurs.

If you have your own grafting knife or secateurs, please bring them along.

If you would like to bring your own scions to graft, select some branches the width of a pencil (about 1cm), and cut into straight pieces about 20-30cm long. Remove all leaves and store in a zip-lock bag to prevent dehydration and bring them to the workshop.

Places are limited, please book early to secure your spot.

The workshop will begin at approximately 12:00pm, immediately after the Australian Hibiscus Society monthly meeting which starts at 10:30am. Workshop participants are welcome to join us for the society meeting, and can join the society on the day for the discounted workshop rate.

10:30am: Australian Hibiscus Society meeting, bloom competition, raffles.
11:30am: Morning tea (bring a plate to share).
12:00pm: Grafting workshop.

AHS membership cost is $30 per year for a family membership.
