Pruning time and method

The pruning of hibiscus flowers should be carried out before germination and after flowering in spring. Dead branches, weak branches and inner bore branches can be cut off from the potted plants to ensure good ventilation and light transmittance of hibiscus flowers. In the growing season, it is necessary to ensure that the hibiscus flower has sufficient water. It is required that the hibiscus flower has fertile and loose basin soil to ensure its good drainage and air permeability and meet its growth needs. During the growth period, we should pay attention not to let the hibiscus grow too high, so as to promote the hibiscus to send out lateral branches and form a plump shape

In cold northern areas, when winter comes, hibiscus mume needs to be moved indoors for overwintering and maintained at a temperature of 0 ~ 10 ℃ to ensure its good dormancy

Some branches can be cut off before overwintering (the cut branches can be used for reproduction), and then covered with soil to make them survive the winter safely. When the covering is removed in the next spring, new branches and leaves will sprout, grow vigorously and bloom in autumn

Precautions

before building hibiscus, make sure that your pruning shears are bright and clean. You should disinfect the gel with alcohol to prevent the spread of the disease from the roots. If any, pruning should be done by cutting back to about one-third, resulting in new growth on at least two to three nodes. It should be cut only above the node, leaving a length of about 0.6 cm. Remove all weak, sick, dead or growing, and crossed or bare branches. The central branch that is growing towards the device should also be removed

Protection work

Pruning hibiscus flowers may cause large wounds. The wounds need to be closed in time to prevent diseases and insect pests and dry cracks, so as to protect the rapid growth and healing of the wounds. Apply some organic fertilizer in the pot every winter. After fertilization, water and seal the soil in time to strengthen the flowers and branches and enhance the resistance
