I have a hibiscus that goes straight up in the air with a few side branches. Of course it blooms on the end of the branches. It needs to be pruned back and so I want to know can this be done and can I get the cuttings to root??

I have had great luck getting my cuttings to root. The Hibiscus was a double salmon and I cut it back each year when I put it in the greenhouse and it comes back and blooms each year. It got so big I had to give it away since I ran out of space in my greenhouse. If you look up your hibiscus you will see the best time to cut for rooting....here is a link from a printout I had when I was propagating it. I do not know if the link is any good anymore. I printed it out in 2009. http://www.trop-hibiscus.com/r... the title was Tropical Hibiscus - Propagation by Rooting. If the link does not work, search for that title and see if you an find it. Hope this helps.
Good luck.

JB, thank you for posting the link I found it to be very helpful.
