Can I cut a Hibiscus in half?

Question

My hibiscus is tall. I want to make it more into a bush. Do I cut it back first and then split it?

Answer 1

I would recommend starting out by cutting your branches back by about 1/3. You can also encourage bushier growth by pinching or tip pruning branch tips throughout the growing season.
