Watering

Water thoroughly then let soil dry out completely

Fertilizing

Very dilute low nitrogen feed during warm growth only

Pruning

Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings or by layering

Growing

Grow indoors in a free draining potting mix, such as a mixture of loam-based compost, sharp sand, ground bark and charcoal. Position in bright filtered light, with moderate to high humidity, and water freely in the growing season; keep just moist in winter. Will not tolerate wet soil. See hoya cultivation
