Cut hibiscus properly - we show when and how!

  • Cutting garden hibiscus
  • Cut room hibiscus
  • Cut giant hibiscus / perennial hibiscus

When cutting it depends on which hibiscus it is. The so-called Roseneibisch, a room or container plant, is cut differently than the Garteneibisch . Then there is the so-called giant hibiscus, a perennial plant, which in turn requires very different cutting measures. It is therefore necessary to know exactly which type of hibiscus it is, not only because of the cut, but also in order to hibernate the plants properly.

Cutting garden hibiscus

The garden hibiscus does not necessarily have to be cut, but it is highly recommended. Especially young plants branch out better. There are significantly more shoots, the entire structure of the plant is more harmonious and not so spirrlig, as one sees these shrubs again and again in gardens. When cutting you do not have to be squeamish. It can cut vigorously. The more you cut, the stronger the plants will drive. But it is also necessary to fertilize immediately after the cut and to water. It is cut in late winter or early spring. The heavy frosts should be over, the shoot must not have started yet. Early March is a good time.

Cut hibiscus in spring
  • Cut end of February / beginning of March
  • Do not cut at frost, this should be largely over
  • For bushes, shorten all shoots by at least 1/3
  • For very dense shrubs cut half of it quietly by 2/3
  • Cut back strongly even with very few shoots
  • Hibiscus blooms on this year's wood, a strong cut thus has no negative impact on the flower, on the contrary, it is promoted by the measure
  • For high trunks, cut an even round crown
  • Again, can be cut strongly
  • Cut abundantly, especially in young woody plants, so that the crown builds up tight
  • Do not cut that hard after a few years
  • Cut as needed
  • If the crown has become unsightly, make a strong cut again.

Cut room hibiscus

The so-called rose marshmallow depends on what is to be achieved with the cut. A distinction is made between parenting, maintenance and rejuvenation. Since the plants can grow quite vigorously and take on quite large proportions, they are often cut if they have grown too large and thus create a space problem. In addition, the flowering of the plants is increased with a cut. The hibiscus only blooms at the shoot tips. If these are quite long and only a few are present, the flowering houseplant looks strange. It is better, therefore, to reach for a uniform dense plant structure and many shoots regularly scissors. Many shoots mean many flowers and this is only achieved by cutting. You do not have to be too hesitant. With too little cutting measures, the hibiscus grows spirally and the bloom subsides.

Cut giant hibiscus / perennial hibiscus

These beautiful flowering plants are the easiest to cut of any hibiscus. It is a perennial or half-tree and they move in the fall. All leaves fall off, leaving only the long shoots. These freeze in winter partly back and can be cut close to the ground. This can be done in autumn, but better in late winter, or in early spring. So that the plant does not look too futuristic in the winter, I cut something back in the fall and then completely in the spring. This method has proven itself. Although the perennial hibiscus drives out very late, but reliable. Every year more shoots and more flowers appear.

  • Shorten shoots in half length in autumn
  • cut off near the ground in spring
