I have a large Hibiscus and it needs desperate a trimming, about 3 ' x 3' across?

the blooming branches are very long %26amp; skinny, hardly no leaves, they turn yellow and keep falling off. What to do and when to trim?

It sounds like your plant is not getting enough sunlight and it may need a little more fertilizer ( osmocote) and possibly water. There are several types of hibiscus and some are evergreen and some are deciduous (leaves drop in winter) So leaf drop during the fall may be normal.


When trimming your hibiscus only cut about a third of the growth back. The combination of all of the above will give you a full and healthy plant next spring.
