How to prune hoya macrophylla 'variegata'

Spring or early summer, after any flowering flush. Use clean, sharp scissors to cut damaged or excessively long stems back to a node. Leave all peduncles intact. If shaping, cut just above a leaf node to encourage branching.

As needed — typically once a year or less. Hoya macrophylla 'Variegata' rarely needs pruning. Never cut the peduncles (flower spurs) — they rebloom each season. Remove only dead, yellowing, or damaged stems at their base. Occasional trimming of very long trailing vines keeps the plant tidy and can encourage branching, but heavy pruning is unnecessary and counterproductive.
