Pruning hoya incrassata — FAQ
When should I prune hoya incrassata?
Early spring before the main growth flush. Use sterilized pruning shears to cut long or wayward stems back to a healthy node. Train remaining stems on a trellis or hoop. Remove dead material promptly. Leave all peduncle spurs untouched.
How often does hoya incrassata need pruning?
Annually in spring; additional light trimming as needed through summer. Hoya incrassata is a vigorous, fast-growing climbing hoya that may need more regular trimming indoors to keep it manageable. Remove dead growth anytime. In spring, cut back long stems to a node to control size. Never remove flower peduncles — they produce large umbels of fragrant flowers repeatedly from the same woody spur.
