Pruning


  • Pinching
    • 1-2 cm
    • younger plant
    • fuller growth
  • Selective pruning
    • no more than 1/3rd of all branches at a time
  • full prune
    • All branches down to 2-3 nodes per branch
    • flowers will take time
    • but, plant will be nice
  • hard prune
    • rejuvenate the plant
    • old plant, lot of dead wood
The main idea is to prune just before a warming trend is coming, so that your hibiscus will grow very actively, and the increasing warmth will pull them forward into lush new growth.
