How to prune

---

After the hibiscus flowers bloom and bud in early spring, prune them from February to March, probably from October to November. If the tree is messy and uneven, prun it back to reshape the tree. If the growth is not good, only weak branches, dead branches, inner branches and annual branches should be pruned. Generally, pruning should be done at a place more than five centimeters above the intersection node of the branch above the target value.

Time

Hibiscus is a plant that is not cold tolerant and grows quickly. Generally, pruning can be done in two periods of time, one after the hibiscus flowers bloom, or when they bud in early spring, which is roughly October to November, or February to March. Choosing to prune during these two periods is beneficial to the accumulation of nutrients in the plant and the growth of new branches and buds.

Methods

It is recommended to choose according to your own requirements Cultivation of tree shape to choose the way of construction. If there are many tree shapes and the tree shape is messy and uneven, you can use heavy pruning to reshape the tree shape. If the tree's growth is not very good, you can only prune weak branches, dead branches, inner branches and annual branches to make the crown look relatively strong and neat. In general, hibiscus flowers basically require a certain amount of pruning, but no matter which pruning method is used, the pruning should be more than five centimeters above the intersection node of the previous branch.

Protection

We usually prune After finishing hibiscus flowers, one will overlook the important point, which is the subsequent protection. In areas with high humidity and low temperatures, you can wrap the cut with plastic film or apply healing agent to prevent the branches from being frostbitten after cutting. When it is colder, you can also cut it short, or leave only about 10cm above the soil surface, and take insulation measures.
