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. Prune after flowering has finished.

Propagation

Propagate by layering in spring or summer; root semi-ripe cuttings with bottom heat in late summer

Growing

Grow in a fast-draining, loam-based compost with added extra organic matter. Position in bright, indirect light with shade from hot sun. In growth, water moderately and apply a balanced liquid feed monthly; keep just moist in winter. Hoyas resent repotting and can stay in the same pot for many years. See hoya cultivation
