Hibiscus need to be pruned if the branches are growing too much or chaotic. A prune job need also to be done in order to help for a beautiful blooming. I prune mines on a differential schedule, depending on their age and look. To the old one, I cut back the long branches at half of their lengths. This I do every late autumn and also in spring. For the rest of my hibiscus (wich are young and small/short = one or two years and up to 40 cm high) I only apply one prunning in spring. They always bloom spectacular.

Some more info - hibiscus care: -hibiscus likes sun exposure, -water regularly and also spray water on their foliage, -provide a sunny location, safe from cold windy air, -fertilize once a week durring the spring and autumn.
