How best to prune hibiscus?
I just cut mine right back close to the main trunk, then it comes back real nice and thick and covered in flowers, I've never killed one yet, and I've done it this way for many years.
Reply:Hibiscus are fairly easy to prune and very forgiving if you get it wrong.



At the start of spring/ end of winter, cut each branch back by about 1/3 and shape as you see fit. Then whack on a slow-release fertilizer and mulch to the drip line of the plant.



You can't go wrong with these plants.
Reply:If this is the perenial hibiscus for cold climates, it dies to the ground each year. you can cut the stalks off close to ground level after it has gone dormant or right as new growth begins to break ground. If a potted tropical, use the advice in the first answer, or just cut the tallest branches back about half, one or two at a time. That way you can keep having blooms without interruption.
