Generally, if it grows well, you can cut off all its branches. If the side branch is too long, just keep it around 10cm. If the growth is not good, you can cut off one third.

2. Pruning of flourishing branches and leaves: When the branches and leaves of hibiscus flowers grow intensively, it will affect photosynthesis in the sun, so it is necessary to prune the dense parts properly to make the branches and leaves get better light, and the twisted stems can be pruned appropriately to keep 2-3cm.

3. Cluster shaping: Every time plants are pruned, there may be messy branches. At this time, you can cut off the part of the side branch that is too long, and cut the flower branch appropriately, which is more ornamental and allows the branch to bloom more flowers.
