How can I get my indoor Hibiscus plant to spread? Mine is tall and spindly.?

I got a shoot of an indoor Hibiscus plant from a friend and have been growing it indoors. The plan is tall and only has one main stem and I'd like to know how I can get it to spread out and have more branches. My plant has no real branches, just leaves are growing out the sides of the main stem. Anybody have any ideas?

Hibiscus don't want to send a bunch of stems from the ground, but you can achieve the same look by "pinching." Go down the main stem, about half way and remove the stem just above a leaf...leave about an 1/8 inch of stem...above...NO MORE. You've removed the terminal bud at the tip of the shoot which controls the side buds telling them not to grow side branches. With the terminal gone you should get two stems growing out. After they have a few leaves, pinch these, that is remove the terminal bud...clip right above a leaf that points out, not in. (you want the new growth to grow out and bushy, not inward making a tangled mess. Keep doing this and eventually you'll have a nice bushy plant.
Reply:First, it is tall and spindly because it needs more light. And pinch the top off, move it closer to the light,and it will bush out.
Reply:It may need more light. Insufficient light will make it spindly.


Also if you pinch off the terminal bud it will encourage side shoots.
