I need some advice on pruning my hibiscus. I have over the years accumulated about 10 tropical hibiscus. I bring them in the house for the winter and they usually lose all their leaves. As spring comes along, they start to grow leaves again.

Should I do any pruning on these? One of them is just a couple of limbs, no branches. Covered with leaves all along it however.

Another one has a great big leaf on one branch and a smaller leaf on another.

I have a couple of 'trees'. One is even starting to put on blooms. I have a twisted one as well.

All look pretty good except they aren't bushy at all. Well the trees are well branched, but that's all.

If I do prune them, how much is good. I don't want to kill these, I have worked too hard to keep them going.

Thanks for your help!
