How Pruning is done in Hibiscus Cultivation?

August to October is the best time for pruning hibiscus plants. Pruning should be carried out to stimulate or encourage the new growth of shoots and buds. To bring out the good shaped plant, remove all the weak and sideways growing branches and try to keep 3 to 4 main upright growing branches. One third of main branches should be cut back. In order to stop a hibiscus plant from getting too big, cut it back in early spring.
