Hi - I reside in Central Florida (Zone 9).

I have several Hibiscus on my property (various colors). I have never pruned them...occassionally the man who cuts our grass will cut them.

They are not very bushy...mostly just leafy stalks that do bloom.

I would like to start taking better care of them and promote fuller growth.

I presume that I should prune them. IS it too late to do so...it being May 1?

Also, I think that I might like to have more. So, my idea is to save cuttings (from pruning) and to see if I can get them to root. Some reseach I have done suggests that this is possible, and that I should soak cutting overnight then plan in at least 6 inches of potting soil? Ant suggetions?

Thank you very much!
