because it is much easier to use their stems for budding and grafting than using the seeds. When pollen is applied to the female pads and a pod forms, it is usually a couple of months until the pod ripens and exposes its seeds where as budding and grafting will only take a few weeks.futhermore getting a pod to form on a plant can be very difficult -- 60-80F degrees, high humidity and "willing" parents. After the seeds have germinated and been raised to maturity, 6 to 18 months, they will produce a flower (and bush) with qualities from both the pollen and the pod parent. Budding and grafting will only take 6 to 8 weeks and the procedure is simple.
Why is it that we do not see seeds evolving from hibiscus flowers?
