Hybiscus plants need to be pruned

| Now that I have the thrips problem under control, thank you everyone for the info at the Florida Garden forum; I need to prune my hibiscus plants. They are way too tall, too wide and very dense. Should I trim them now or wait a little later when it really does get cooler? Should I use a hedge trimmer or prune them manually with pruners? |

| AS said in your post about deformed leaves, thrips weren't the problem. Instead, it was aphids. That said, Cut back entire branches to decrease width and/or height. Then shorten what remains. Prune whenever your pruners are handy. Hedge trimmers make ugly cuts when used on large-leaved plants. Ultimately, it's your choice. |
