How to shorten it properly

Cut room hibiscus in February

The best time to cut rose marshmallow is after the winter flowering season. Under normal conditions, the exotic evergreen ornamental wood finished its blooming appearance on the windowsill and in the winter garden in February. Before the growth of new shoots with numerous flower buds begins, disused flower wood should clear the field.

Slow growth dictates the cut

With an annual growth of 5 to 15 centimeters, indoor hibiscus takes it slower than its hardy conspecifics in the garden bed. The leisurely pace requires a well-planned cut so that there are no gaps or you have to wait a long time to reach the desired final height. How to properly cut a rose marshmallow:

• Cut off dead and disturbing shoots at the base
• Clean up withered inflorescences for a better overview
• Cut back branches that are too long to just above a leaf or a leaf knot

Ideally, you should shorten extra-long shoots using the path of one Derivation a. This cutting technique aims to reduce or completely prevent annoying gaps in the appearance. Examine the branch in question for an outward-facing branch below. Place the scissor blades at the fork. The previously subordinate side branch now takes over the leading position.

Parenting cut to the high trunk - this is how it works

As a high trunk, the room hibiscus is a feast for the eyes. The piece of jewelery has its price in specialist shops when it is ready to be brought up. As a carpentry gardener, you enjoy the privilege of raising a young rose marshmallow yourself to become a standard tree. How to proceed step by step:

• Appoint the most promising shoot as the future stem
• Fix to a bamboo stick with soft binding material
• Cut off all side branches at the base
• When reaching the final height, cut off the main shoot to stimulate buds to sprout

By cutting off the tip bud, you trigger a jam beneath the cut. As a result, several shoots sprout. You tie the top shoot to the support rod as a trunk extension and guide it up to the desired crown height. From the remaining shoots, choose three to four promising branches as the crown structure. In the following years, cut the leading branches of the crown by half every spring so that they branch out profusely.

The biggest challenge when it comes to raising a tall trunk is a long thread of patience. Given the slow rate of growth, it will take several years before you cross the long-awaited finish line.
