Pruning hoya meliflua — FAQ
When should I prune hoya meliflua?
Early spring before vigorous seasonal growth. Cut back long or unruly climbing stems to a healthy node using sterilized shears. Train remaining growth on a trellis or pole. Preserve all visible peduncle spurs. Remove dead leaves and stems cleanly.
How often does hoya meliflua need pruning?
Annually in spring; light tidying as needed. Hoya meliflua is a robust, fast-climbing hoya with large leaves and fragrant flowers that can grow large indoors. Annual pruning in spring helps keep it contained. Remove dead or damaged growth anytime. Never cut the persistent flower spurs — they rebloom from the same peduncle repeatedly, often for years.
