How to trim the drum

1. Pruning method

1. Thinning: During the growth period of the hibiscus, sometimes the leaves grow too closely, and simple thinning is needed. If the leaves grow too densely, the growth of the plant will deteriorate, so in order to make it grow healthily, it is necessary to thin out the leaves.

2. Leaf cutting: Sometimes due to improper maintenance, there will be some dead leaves, yellow leaves, etc. on the plant. When you find these leaves that are not growing well, you need to cut off them.

3. Withered flowers: The hibiscus is a flowering plant, so after it blooms, if you don’t want to enjoy it, you need to cut off the flowers in time. You can also cut it off after it blooms, otherwise it will consume nutrients.

4. Root pruning: When repotting the plant, you can trim its roots appropriately. After removing the plant from the pot, any fibrous roots that affect the plant's growth should be cut off, especially any rotten roots, which should be cut off immediately.

2. Precautions

The scissors used for pruning should not have any pathogens on them, because after pruning the hollyhock, the pathogens will invade the plant through the cut. After pruning it, the pruning ends must not be allowed to come into contact with water, so be careful when watering after pruning.
