How to Prune Hoya to Make It Bloom More
Today's editor introduces how to prune Hoya to make it bloom more and shares the related introduction of green plant flowers and pruning skill tutorials. Here is the detailed introduction.
Hoya is a particularly lovely flower, composed of many small flowers that come together to form a semi-flower ball. These small flowers are different from hydrangeas, with a more fleshy texture and a more delicate appearance, resembling tiny five-pointed stars.
When growing Hoya, enthusiasts can plant it in a pot placed on the ground and then help it by setting up a string or a frame. This way, Hoya can grow along the path set by the enthusiasts! Alternatively, enthusiasts can hang Hoya high up, allowing its branches and leaves to grow downward, which is also very beautiful.
Enough chit-chat, let's get to the point! This time, we want to share with you the care methods for Hoya. Enthusiasts interested in flowers, take a look!
Key Point One: Planting and Propagation
Methods suitable for Hoya propagation include cutting and layering, which can be done in spring, summer, and autumn. Some Hoya species can bloom in the same year after planting, while others may take the second, third, or even longer to bloom.
In fact, Hoya is a plant that requires years of cultivation to bloom. Some Hoya species bloom quickly due to careful attention from enthusiasts, while others may be because the cuttings chosen for propagation already had buds that were about to bloom.
Key Point Two: Pot Selection

One thing to avoid when planting Hoya is choosing a pot that is too large. If the pot is too large, Hoya will keep growing roots until the roots fill the entire pot, resulting in less nutrient supply to the branches and leaves, causing slower growth and possibly only producing leaves without flowers.
To ensure flowers grow smoothly, it's better to choose a smaller pot. As long as the pot has good ventilation and drainage, it's fine!
Key Point Three: Light
Previously, I recommended Hoya as a shade-tolerant plant because it doesn't require much light and can grow in places with poor indoor lighting conditions. However, if you want Hoya to bloom, you still need to ensure two to three hours of sunlight each day, or even scattered light is beneficial.
Some enthusiasts think that shade-tolerant plants don't need light at all and keep Hoya in places without sunlight. As a result, Hoya doesn't bloom, only produces leaves, and the leaves become more sparse over time!
Key Point Four: Watering
No need to water Hoya too frequently. Just water it when the soil is completely dry.
