Pruning hoya 'krimson princess' — FAQ
When should I prune hoya 'krimson princess'?
Spring, before new growth begins. Snip long vines just above a leaf node with clean scissors. Never cut off peduncles (short stub-like flowering spurs at nodes). If reverting (all-green) stems appear, trim those back to variegated growth to maintain colour. Remove dead leaves or stems as needed.

As needed — light tidy once a year. Hoya 'Krimson Princess' requires minimal pruning. In spring, trim back any excessively long or straggly vines to encourage a fuller shape.
