Cut hibiscus: How to do the young plant

A regular cut is extremely important for the hibiscus. Even with the young plant, damaged branches should be removed. Branches growing inwards should also be cut off. The other shoots are shortened at least half. So new, fresh shoots can grow back.

With an branch fork (V-shape), one of the two branches should be cut off directly on the fork so that the two branches do not prevent growth.

ThisAutschere from Fiskars* is particularly suitable for the hibiscus cut, since the scissors have a small opening angle, so that you can get to the branches without any problems.

Don't worry if the hibiscus appears to you. The radical cut helps to drive the hibiscus again in spring. By the way, hibiscus blooms from July to September.

If your hibiscus has developed a dense crown over the years, only dried shoots will later have to be cut away. Drives from the previous year can be cut to a few buds. If the plant grows very densely in the following years, it should be examined every now and then.

It is important to shorten the outer shoots more than the inner ones so that the crown shape is preserved.

. In the first year, the young plant should also be protected from frost with a layer of mulch.

Cut hibiscus: What to do if the plant hardly wears flowers

If you have not cropped the hibiscus over several years, hardly any new flowers may develop at some point. If this is the case, you should cut all the drives of the plant radically back to different heights (30 to 40 centimeters above the floor).

By the way, the hibiscus is best cut in the late winter, i.e. around February. In summer, the many new shoots have to be radically thinned out again.

The hibiscus is not only a popular ornamental plant, you can also make a delicious tea from the flowers. In addition, drinks can be refined with a hibiscus flower pickled in syrup.
