Generally, plants can only be pruned in about 2 years, and it is not suitable to prune at seedling stage. Let me share with you the pruning method of potted hibiscus flowers.
The newly transplanted plants of Hibiscus are usually small in plant type, belonging to the growing period, which is not suitable for pruning and can grow 1 year. Generally speaking, 2-year-old hibiscus flowers can be lightly cut to ensure the perfection of plant type. Light pruning does not require major transformation, only pruning dead branches, weak branches of pests and diseases and decaying branches that appear in autumn and winter to ensure that the nutrients of the mother plant are not lost casually.
The incidence angle of the vertical branches of hibiscus is small, and the branches are nearly upright. This kind of branch has very strong germination ability, but poor branching ability, so it is not easy to be too long. It can be transformed into a tree with trunk and no stratification by pruning. In the pruning method of potted hibiscus flowers, three or four robust main branches can be left on the trunk, 1 or two side branches can be left on each main branch, and the rest can be pruned. Some people call this pruning method trunk and open heart.
Hibiscus has big branches and wide branches. This kind of branch is open and has strong flowering ability. The plant type can be adjusted to be tufted and shrubby.

The maintenance of hibiscus flowers can not be separated from boiling water, fertilizer and light. How to raise potted hibiscus is very important. Hibiscus is naturally drought-tolerant, and likes humid and warm environment, but it is not waterlogged, so proper watering is very important, which is related to the healthy growth of plants. Water should be controlled to ensure that the basin soil is wet.
The growth fertilizer of hibiscus is also very important. Its flowering period is too long, so it naturally needs more nutrients, so it is appropriate to apply thin fertilizer regularly. Phosphate fertilizer is mainly used in the early flowering period, which can not only ensure the supply of nutrients needed by plants, but also ensure the amount of flowers. In addition, adequate fertilizer is also the sustainable energy guarantee for hibiscus flowering.
