Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering in cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Prune to maintain shape or control size. Remove any leggy or dead stems. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp shears for best results, typically done in spring.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 10-15 cm with at least two nodes. Allow the cut end to callus for a day or two before planting in a well-draining potting mix.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one formulated for Hoya or succulents. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
