- How to Make Your Hibiscus Bloom Again - Here in this video you are going to find my top secret to force Hibiscus to bloom again. Whenever we grow Hibiscus plants in container, fertilizing and watering only not enough. Instead, there is another most important thing that we need to do on a constant basis and that is Pruning. So, if you are wondering how to prune Hibiscus plant, you would find all the answers in this video. Please also note that, pruning only the branches is not enough. We also need to prune the roots. However, if you can upgrade the size of the container, it's okay even if you don't prune the roots.
Here in this video you are going to see how you can prune your Hibiscus plants - both branches and roots. I have also shown the final result and my plant did an amazing job :-) It bloomed extraordinarily well and I hope you would like it. So, if you expecting lots of blooms on your Hibiscus plants this season, prune your plants now as it's the best time.
How to know when to prune your Hibiscus plant?
Ans: If the leaves or the flowers are getting smaller on your Hibiscus plant, it means the plant is rootbound and you need to prune your plant - both branches and roots.
Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching the video :-)
last year i came home to find a dying hibiscus on the terrace. it barely had few leaves and the stem was very sick. i took it out of the pot and pruned the hell out of it and repotted in a new mix. I was happy to see many blooms on it when i returned this year, it looks the same variety that you have in this video.....but the plant wasn't that bushy, so did some branch pruning and i've got more buds.....
Excellent tip to prune roots to get more and more flowers .. I feel obliged that i found yr channel with loads of info on hibiscus
i did also on my plants, they are successful, thanks for sharing..
Thank you for sharing such useful information in a clear way. Another thing I like about your videos are that you show the end results too. I can also see how well you treat your plants and even your sweet daughter is so gentle with the plants.
It is so heartwarming to see your beautiful garden.
Thanks once again. I will keep watching more of your videos.
I have been using the azalea food pellets as hibiscus fall under the same family and it’s 4x the size as last year and I can’t even count how many buds have popped up. Might check into that as well. But mine is planted in front of my house full sun, and I water it everyday and keep an ample supply of food pellets for it. I can’t wait for the buds to open
I just love your garden beats
I'll be trying very soon. I'm also very fond of plants n flowering plants😊😊😊
This is wonderful. I love hybiscus. Actually crazy about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and results. Beautiful results....
@Videsha Munusami, Good to see a Crazy Hibiscus lover here and thank you so so much for the feedback, much appreciated :-)
Me, too! I love the whole hibiscus family from the tropical to okra to Rose of Sharon, Abutilon, Rose Mallow, and also native mallows! Where I live, we have to bring the tropical ones in for winter, but it is worth it. Several of them I have had for over thirteen years. Such beauty!
I love hibiscus.. actually I have some diff . varieties.. but ants are my enemy.
Tremendously informative! I have been gardening for 30 years and never knew any of this!!! Thank you!
Your video was so useful. I will be busy today pruning and reporting my plant. Thank y9u so much.
God bless you and your family for your precious information
After watching the video i tried on my plants the same trick. No luck till now. Your lucky. I am sure mine is taking time but will definitely start flowering
Will keep you posted

This is what i exactly need to do with my hibiscus plant as it is producing very small leaves and small flowers..thanks a lot.
Thankyou somuch for your clear explanation video
@ammu's kitchen, Most welcome and thank you so so much for watching :-)
Sir your instruction is very simple and easy to follow for a beginner in gardening like me. I had in mind to plant different colors of hibiscus. I have found so many information and tips from you.
You deserve another addition of subscriber and here I am. Looking forward to many more.
excellent, most of my bougainvillea plants, I have done the same, heavy blooms, I cut the tap root also little, some change into bonsais
@SANJAY s, Thank you very much and great to know your Bougainvillea plants are blooming well, great job :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat If you have a FB page, can share the pics
Gorgeous plant.
Thank you So much!
I have a hibiscus tree that is actually three different hibiscuses braided together. I planted it in a large pot and then planted small hibiscus plants around it. I give it potash. I’ve found as it gets hotter (in the high 90’s-100 degree temperatures, it will not bloomed unless I water it at least every other-if not every day.
Amazing before and after!
Excellent tips bro.. 👌👌👌🌼🌼🌼🍀🍀
@RITA BALCONY GARDEN, Thank you so much, appreciate it :-)
Lots of new information, great video. Very much appreciate your work.. Thank you
Glad it was helpful and thank you very much for your feedback!
Hello from Canada.Thx for your informative video.You have a very god point about the root bound indoor plants stunting the growth. Thx for ur video
Superb, strongly useful hints i liked. Please let me know in which month pruning of hibiscus roots should be done.
@raj kumar, Thank you so so much for the feedback, appreciate it. The best time to prune roots is when the plant is not growing actively. This is for all plants and this is the safe way. If you want to do, you can definitely do it now. Because Hibiscus plants are going to produce new leaves from Spring onwards. Most of my Hibiscus plants are almost sleeping now..ha ha..waiting for the Spring & Rainy season :-)
Nice good tips I have applied pruning the plant let me wait for the new results thanks
@Hemant Rao, Thank you So much for the feedback, much appreciated! Definiately you are going to see the result very soon, good luck :-)
@Hemant Rao Could u pls confirm what was the result when u applied this process.
While repoting and over watering I could not survive the plant that was mistake on my part
@@hemantrao9875 oh... Well today I did it and hope for better result, will update.
Namaskar 🙏
I have three plants, already pruned two,waiting third to bloom few buds already there, should I repot or ? They are already in 12" pots, potted 3 months back,and soil mix? your vedios are good n informative
My regards
Namaskar Sir 🙏
Thank you so much for the feedback Sir, it really means a lot to me. Since you potted them 3 months back and containers are also big enough, there is absolutely no need to repot them now. You can prune them next year. Good luck and wish you all the best :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat ok thanks for your quick response with details
My regards 🌹🙏
@SN Tandon, Most welcome Sir and thank you very much :-)
Good evening...Woowwww👌👌👌
It's absolutely amazing blooming ,,

Thnq for sharing dis vdo 🙏🙏🙏
Thnks to your channel.Good explanation..In my hibiscus plant no buds are coming ..should I do this process..ur flowers are looking very beautiful..
Plz make video on how to get rid of pests..
🙂🙂🙂
@Fusics Creation, Thank you so much for your feedback, much appreciated. Since your plant is not blooming, definitely you can do this or you would need to fertilize your plant. Hibiscus needs fertilizer at this time as it's the growing season. I already have a video about the Best organic fertilizer for Hibiscus and if you are interested, you can watch it here - th-cam.com/video/5cWdxOnCAAA/w-d-xo.html
To get rid of Pests, you can use either Neem Oil or Chemical pesticides such as Rogor or Roket. For Neem Oil dose is - 5-6 ml Neem Oil + 4 ml light hand wash and then mix them in 1 liter water. For Chemical pesticide, Max 1 ml in 1 liter water. I already have a video about applying Neem Oil and here is the video - th-cam.com/video/yVRy0NokUhc/w-d-xo.html I hope, that helps. Thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Very big thanks *Gardening Upbeat* you explained so well..thanks...I am happy..
@Fusics Creation, Most welcome n thank you once again 😊😊

Wow. Healthy and blooming!!!

Very good tips!
Did it work for you
Thank you sir I have same problem in my plant .😊
@Gopal Chakraborty, Most welcome Sir, you can prune it as it's the best time to do. It would start producing new growth from Spring onwards. Thank you very much for watching the video :-)
i planted mine direct on soil, it grew about 1&1/2 meters high but not so many flowers. i prune it every 6 months but i can only count 6 flowers or less 😊
That is enough my friend
If it was already planted in ground how to prune roots?
Pl give a reply soon
Very useful video. I have the same problem. My hibiscus doesn't bloom at all. I will try this method
@GeethaGiri Giri, Thank you so much for the feedback, appreciate it :-) And, good luck in trying it, wishing you all the best :-)
All plant lovers can understand your happiness.
@Geeta's Glorious Garden and Pets, Thank you so much Ma'am for understanding, appreciate it :-)
Thank you so much. I will try it to my hibiscus.
@Midelyn Adier, You are most welcome and thank you so so much for your feedback, appreciate it :-)
Wow..wow....wow...what is the best fertilizer for hibiscus????
@Devika Mohanty, Thank you So So much :-) Video about best fertilizer - th-cam.com/video/5cWdxOnCAAA/w-d-xo.html and if you like to see the results, here - th-cam.com/video/vd0C6n_Ro3w/w-d-xo.html Thank you once again :-)
Wow .. amazing transformation after the pruning. Really beautiful leaves and flowers... plant started to look so healthy. Informative video.
@Anupam S, Thank you so much Anupam, appreciate it :-) This is one of my best double petaled Hibiscus and another one is the Yellow one (from which I took the cuttings). This time really some wired things happened..your comment was in Spam folder..:D I need to complain to Google :D
@@GardeningUpbeat Yes, I posted the comment, and I saw that the page showed several duplicates of that, like 8-10 :/ ... dunno how. This has happened to me in the past too at times. I had to delete all the duplicates. Something really wrong with TH-cam :/
@Anupam S, Yah, it happened with me too :-) Millions of comments are being getting posted every seconds..so, it happens sometimes I think :-) Don't know how they handle all the data..LOL My 3 hard disks are almost filled with recordings, photos etc..They are storing data from all over the world, amazing :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Wow .. 3 hard drives full :O. That's a lot! :D.
Well, Google is rich.. they have loads of big spaces where they have tons of hard drives to store all the data LOL. But yea, it's mind boggling how so much of data gets stored.
Still, stupid issues like posting of several duplicate comments shouldn't be occurring. Some kind of bug.
Also, earlier when I used to post comment from mobile, I could use the scroll function to see the comment I was replying to, because for a long comment, you need to see it several times to see what to reply to. But, with the new update, you can no longer see or scroll the comment you are replying to.. if you have to, you have to discard your reply which you were writing. That's really stupid.
There are several annoyances like these which shouldn't be there on such a big and popular network.
@Anupam S, Totally agree with you Anupam..look like Google is behind FB when it comes to social media :-( The scroll function is not there..really? That's really wired :-( I am not aware of it as most of the times I use PC. Hope they fix it soon and another 2 fixes they really should do - Notification for nested comment and allowing others to reply on Community.
Excellent job, well demonstrated.
@Dinabandhu Misra, Thank you so so much, appreciate it :-)
nice information
@plant caregiver, Thank you so much :-)
very very good information, thank you a lot
I am so excited
Amazing! I have the same hibiscus. I prune it, but never pruned the roots! Will do. My big problem with hibiscus though is aphids. I’ve been using Neem. Any suggestions?
Same problem
Same aphids and big ants use their leaves as home
@@shivalivi candid powder
Use a systemic bug killer, one that is applied to the soil, pulled up by the roots and into the leaves. That's the only thing I've found that really works.
I use distilled alcohol on aphids and mealy bugs. Alcohol dissolves the outer body and then we can easily wipe of them from stems
I love watching your videos
Very good information sir ji 👌👌
Thank you for sharing 👍👍
@Aanchal garden, Thank you so much for the feedback :-) I would highly appreciate if you don't call me sir, thank you :-)
You are the best..You never disappoints us 😊😊😊
This 8s amazing. Please answer..
1.which month to do this process?
2. plant will not go into shock if pruning and repotting is done together?
I will appreciate if you answer back Thnx.
@Pratima Pankar, Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the late reply..here are the answers -
1. We can do at anytime and even in Winter if temp doesn't go below less than 10 degree Celsius. But, best time to do is the Feb end to April
2. It won't as I have shown in the video and I do it quite often with my plants as they are with me from last 5+ years. But just after pruning and repotting, please avoid keeping the plant in under direct sunlight for next 3-5 days at least.
I hope that helps and if you have any questions, please let me know. Happy Gardening :-)
@Gardening Upbeat...thanks a lot for your reply.Now I am clear.Will definitely use this method during spring.
Thank you so much it is quite helpful for me
@Vana Sampath, Once again sorry for the late reply...Glad to know you found it useful and thank you very much for the feedback, Happy Gardening :-)
Your plants are so beautiful!
Very nice that's my colors wow
@Judith Balchin, Thank you So So much :-)
Very good tutorial video, thank you!
Very good video. Nicely explained. Which season fr good fr pruning and repotting. We r at Bangalore. We hv many hibiscus plants but few leaves, flowers.
@Vidyasrao rao k, I do at anytime whenever I see I need to treat my plants :-) But, it's a good idea not to prune the roots when the plant is actively growing. Actively growing means, it's already getting all nutrients from the soil. So, if they are not growing well, you can do it now as well :-) Anyway for Hibiscus, Summer is the growing season. Thank you for watching the video :-)
Thank you for sharing your great idea love it
Thank you sir very nicely explained all my doubts clear watching your video.
Beautiful video. Please mention when is the pruning and repotting time or month. It will be more . Stay safehelpful
@sulu sharangi, Spring is the ideal time..but for Hybrid Hibiscus, we can do at anytime as they bloom throughout the whole year almost. But still, would be better to avoid winter. Thank you for your feedback n for watching the video :-)
Thanks for shareing
Hello from Australia. I adore hibiscus. Your video information is excellent. Thank you. My question relates to pesticides. I am very reluctant to use sprays since I accidentally poisoned myself some years back when spray was spilt on my hand. Someone suggested diluted dishwashing soap. Is this a viable solution and if so what dilution? Are there any other suggestions? My problems are thrips and mealybug mostly. Hoping for an answer... many thanks.
How are you doing now friend

Thank you for this very informative video. How to maintain the dark green glossy leaves of the hibiscus plant sold in the nurseries ?
@Barb Lee, Thank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it :-) The dark green glossy leaves fade away when there is lack of Nitrogen in the soil. You would see the change in 10-15 days if you use just 10-15 grams of Mustard cake powder surrounding the pot :-) In many nurseries, mostly Urea (foliar spray) is used to maintain the dark glossy leaves. No need to use Urea at all...if you fertilize your plants timely, plants would be happy :-) Here is one video showing how I do it - th-cam.com/video/5cWdxOnCAAA/w-d-xo.html and you can see the results here - th-cam.com/video/vd0C6n_Ro3w/w-d-xo.html Thank you and let me know if you have any questions :-)

Excellent 👍👍
Very nice presentation sir. My chennai variety hibiscus plant does not bloom from 3 month. Only one branch is there no improvement. Others hibiscus plant blooming regularly. Pls suggest. Also suggest lab. Epsum salt uses. Thank you.
@Pradip Saha, Thank you So So much Sir, appreciate it. Since your other plants are blooming well, I don't think that you are not taking proper care and you are doing everything correctly. Since the plant is not blooming, I suspect problem is in the soil. So, if possible, provide it a fresh soil and can also do bit pruning (roots).
Plant has only one stem, so, wouldn't recommend to hard pruning like I did. But definitely you can prune the very top part and hope it would produce new branches. EPSOM Salt - It provides the Magnesium to plants. Magnesium is required to give leaves their green color and it helps in photosynthesis process. If there is any deficiency, the leaves start to look light green and veins remains green. Often happens when growing plants in container. I hope, I answered your questions. One request - I would appreciate if you don't call me Sir, thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you for your valuable comments sir. Really I achieve more information from you. Stay home in lock down and take care.

What would u do if I have it in the ground. You wouldn’t have to do any of this cutting if it’s in the ground, right?
Thanks of the informative video.which month is best for pruning? and reporting?
I have repotted my hibiscus plants before 2 months... I had also done pruning... They are growing amazingly... They have also got bushy bt there is no blooms till now
It's great that they are growing well and bushy too...definitely they would bloom very soon. It's bit early actually and many varieties start to bloom well from April end-May onward. They need proper temperature to bloom well. In fact, mine are not blooming completely at this time as it's early. Getting just few blooms here n there..
@@GardeningUpbeat my plants are two years old.. Nd still they have not even bloomed for once... Ek baar fool de to clr pta chle... Wo v nHi pta... 😪😪
Sorry to know that...that usually doesn't happen. It would be much better if you grow new plants and whenever you get new plants, please get only those plants which already has the buds or in flowering stage. You won't have to wait for such long...
@@GardeningUpbeat yes.. 🥺😔😔
Please tell us WHAT SOIL you use. Thanks
Very useful video👌👌👌
@Very useful video, Thank you so so much :-)
can you do this in middle of summer when you find out that it didn't bloom or do I have to wait until early spring?
my hibiscus is planting already in the soil,from the pot,I'd rather to transfer into soil better because when that is in the pot need to watering always,but in the soil even you can't put water in it they will still alive.
but thnks for sharing your video.
You are most welcome..ground is always better and agree with you. They need lots of water..
very useful vdo.... thank you so much for sharing the video... can I use this roots proning method to bauganbelli... Plz
@pema Lama, Thank you so so much Ma'am, appreciate it :-) We can do for Bougainvillea but they bloom well when there is not much space for the roots to grow, I mean when they become kind of rootbound. If we provide them more space to grow then, they focus on growing like a vine and less flowers. That's why in nurseries, we can often see Bougainvillea blooming well in small container (mostly the tissue cultured variety). They also use bigger pots too, but in most cases those plants are quite old and so costly. I am working on Bougainvillea too and hope to get success :-) Thank you once again :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you so much for your detailed reply .. highly appreciated.. I must follow your valuable tips.. for your kind information my geranium blooming heavily because of your precious tips.. thank you once again

Hello, thank you for the video, very informative! Would this method work for dahlias? Can I prune the roots every year? Winters here where I live get very cold so I need to winterize the dahlias and bring them back outside in spring. When do we usually prune the roots? Thank you so much!.
You can dig the tubers after the first frost and save them over winter that way. There are instructions online on how to save them, but I had the best results putting the tubers in a box in the basement and accidentally forgetting about them. Murphy's Law. Lol
Very informative
Thank you
beauty,
Very nice video, small and informatie. Please tell me when can we prune our hibiscus plant? i also see your pot is too small. Is it possible to grow in such a small pot? Or what should be the Minimum size of pot? Thanks in advance
@Sharad Sharma, Thank you very much Sir for the feedback, appreciate it. For pruning roots, best time to do when the plant is not growing actively. And so, we can do in Nov-Dec. But we can prune the branches at anytime of the year. Whenever we want to make it look bushy, we can prune the branches. You can prune the roots even now..but plz be bit careful and avoid doing it in extreme hot day. The plant would get a big shock as we would prune the roots and because of that there would be less water supply to the plant.
It's very much possible to grow in pot like that...but using bit bigger container is better. For small container, we need more maintenance. Having said that, small container is easy to manage whenever we need to carry and need to do some fixing (like this) :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you . Is it necessary to prune the roots every year?
@Sharad Sharma, Depends actually...like I informed in the video, we have two options - 1. To increase the size of the container 2. Pruning and changing the soil and we can do this whenever we see our plants are struggling. For most Perennials, it's better to change the soil once in a year or at least once in a 2 years to keep getting the same result we get just after repotting for the first time. It's the actual truth...but many hide it. This is another reason why I grow seasonal plants as well. Thank you :-)
Very impressive
Thank you very much
Thank u so much🙏
Most welcome 😊
Hello, My hibiscus plant forms buds, the buds become very big, but then it never blooms and they fall off. What would help this? I enjoy your videos!
@Ayesha Qureshi, It's one of the most common issues and very frustrating..can understand! I already have a detailed video where I have discussed all the issues with result and please watch here - th-cam.com/video/j14BOTdmnBw/w-d-xo.html Thank you very much for your feedback, much appreciated :-)
My Hibiscus plant stopped flowering 6 months back, leaves have become kinda hard and curved somehow still green. I tried replanting with garden soil, vermicompost and cocopeat mix in place of the pure garden soil and used stick fertilizer also. Time to time, mealy bugs treatment also still, no flowering. Last week 3 buds popped but fell down easily. Can you suggest what to do?
