Question
I have several Abutilon plants in containers, they seem healthy but are very scraggily. Where do I cut them to make them fuller, and when is the right time of year?

Answer
You can prune your Abutilon safely April through August. To promote bushiness, nip back each branch to right above a pair of leaves. Yes, you may sacrifice flowers, but new buds will form on the new shoots that emerge. 2 new shoots will sprout at the leaf axils. After clipping, feed with a liquid fertilizer such as Maxsea 16-16-16.
