Pruning a Hibiscus?

My hibiscus is completely bare except for some small new leaves growing at the base. Should I cut it off all the way to right above the new growth (at the ground) ????
Pruning a Hibiscus?
I would leave what you have. You should cut that plant off to low to the ground because you rick it not being able to grow back. You should only prune:



To train the plant

To maintain plant health

To improve the quality of flowers, fruit, foliage or stems

To restrict growth





Let the new growth come in and see how it fits your taste. New growth will come. Use fertilizer, think about waterinig more or putting in better light. These changes will encourage growth.
