Title: Help Post by: tara on October 13, 2009, 07:06:50 AM I have an indoor hibiscus for a year and a half...its getting big (I repotted it once) and the problem is it looks funny because the bottom half is wood, the top half is green but there are only a couple flowers at a time. It looks more tall than full. If I prune it down will I kill it? How do I know what to cut and where not to?

Take a look here http://www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com/care/pruning.htm This website shows a good picture on where to cut if you need visuals http://www.trop-hibiscus.com/bfertins.html It will not kill you hibiscus at all. Its actually good to prune to promote more growth/ and branching. It sounds like your hibiscus needs a good prune since you said you only get a few flowers at a time.
