Cutting back hibiscus plant

Question

I live in the northeast, and I just brought in my hibiscus plant which I keep in a pot all year round. It is kept in a sunny location in my home before the first frost until early summer, when I bring it back outside into the garden.

It still has plenty of buds blooming, but is very leggy. Is this a bad time to cut it back?
I have read that the best time is in the spring; however, this stays sunny and warm all year round.

Please advise.
Thank you so much!
Chris

Answer 1

You can tip prune your plant really anytime, this will help improve it's shape and reduce the legginess.

You can then give the plant another prune in the early spring.
