How to Prune Chinese hibiscus?

Chinese hibiscus is a vibrant, flowering shrub recognized for its large, showy blossoms. Essential pruning techniques include removing dead or weak stems and shaping the plant to encourage blooming and bushy growth. Conduct pruning in late spring, post-flowering, to align with the plant’s growth cycle. Regular pruning promotes healthier growth and more prolific flowering. For best results, use sharp tools to make clean cuts, and consider removing up to one-third of the plant to rejuvenate it.
