How to Prune Cranberry hibiscus?
(Hibiscus acetosella)
Cranberry hibiscus, also known as Red leaf hibiscus, False roselle, Red shield hibiscus
Characterized by its deep red foliage and tart, cranberry-like flavor, cranberry hibiscus is a popular ornamental and edible plant. Prune cranberry hibiscus to maintain shape, encourage bushier growth, and remove dead or diseased branches. The best time for pruning is in spring to early fall, avoiding late fall cuts that can stimulate new growth vulnerable to frost. Systematic pinching back of tips promotes branching, enhancing its vibrant display. Pruning benefits include improved air circulation and plant vigor.
