How to prune hoya flagellata

Spring, before vigorous seasonal growth. Cut back overly long vines to a node using sterilized scissors. Remove any dead or yellowing sections cleanly. Preserve all peduncle spurs to protect future flowering sites.

As needed — once a year if shape control is desired. Hoya flagellata produces long, whip-like trailing vines and needs minimal pruning. Trim only to remove dead or damaged growth, or to control vine length if it outgrows its space. As with all hoyas, never remove the short flower peduncles — they re-flower from the same spur repeatedly and cutting them delays blooming.
