Hibiscus pruning

Question

I have pruned the hibiscus below the nodes, but left the main stems 12″ above the ground level. Will I ever get buds again?

Answer 1

If you have Chinese Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) you should still get buds again provided that you are meeting the plants' other growing requirements. You'll just have to wait a little longer for them to bloom since you've pruned your hibiscus all the way back to the main stem.
