When should I prune a Hibiscus, that is growing in a pot?

To keep plants in shape, prune in spring just after new growth starts (generally this is March). Young plants seldom need pruning, but pinching back tips of new growth will increase bushiness and the number of flowering branches. Flowers develop on new growth. When 'potting up' prune both the plant and the roots to promote new balanced growth.
