How often does hoya tsangii need pruning?

Rarely — tip-prune once a year if desired; otherwise only as needed. Hoya tsangii is a small-leaved, compact hoya that rarely needs pruning. Like all hoyas, its peduncles rebloom repeatedly — never cut them. Remove only dead or desiccated stems. An occasional tip-prune after a growth flush encourages a denser habit and more future bloom sites without harming the plant.
