Hibiscus: Proper Pruning Techniques

Proper pruning is essential for maintaining the health and aesthetics of hibiscus plants. Start by removing dead or damaged branches, as well as any crossing or rubbing branches. Next, prune back one-third of the overall length of the branches to encourage new growth. Hibiscus plants also benefit from regular pinching, which involves removing the tips of young shoots to promote branching and fuller growth. Pruning should be done during the dormant season or after the blooming period.
