How often does hoya rigida need pruning?
Rarely — as needed. Hoya rigida has stiff, upright or semi-twining stems and rarely demands pruning. Remove dead or damaged growth as it appears. Because blooms form on retained peduncles, avoid cutting spurs. If the plant becomes ungainly, shorten long stems in spring. Otherwise, leave it largely alone.
