Heavy pruning of hibiscus sempervivum is mainly carried out in autumn and winter. The main purpose of heavy pruning of hibiscus is to promote the renewal of the plant. When pruning, all branches of hibiscus that are more than 10 cm from the ground can be cut off.

How to cut lightly

Hibiscus sempervirens needs light pruning, which is usually done during the growing season or after it blooms. When doing light pruning, you can cut off one-third of the branches of the hibiscus. When doing strong pruning, you can shape the hibiscus plant into your favorite shape according to your preferences, making its shape more beautiful.

In addition, in the spring, you can also cut off all the dry, diseased and insect-infested branches and weak branches of the hibiscus. This can reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests, and is conducive to the renewal of the plant, making it grow more healthily.
