Pruning square leaf hoya — FAQ
When should I prune square leaf hoya?
Spring for shaping; dead or diseased growth removed year-round. Cut overlong or bare stems just above a healthy node using sterilized scissors. Avoid heavy cutbacks — leave established spur structures intact for flowering.
How often does square leaf hoya need pruning?
As needed — typically once a year or less. Hoya rotundiflora, sometimes called Square Leaf Hoya, needs very little pruning. Remove dead or unhealthy growth any time. If the plant becomes leggy or too large for its pot or trellis, trim stems back to a leaf node in spring to promote compact growth. Preserve all old flower peduncles — reblooming depends on them.
