How and where on the plant do you prune? We have the regular green and a variegated rope Hoya. Our older one, about 2 years old, is blooming for the first time. Just one bloom so far. The variegated one is much slower to grow, but is doing well. Thank you for all the tips!👍🏻
Of course! I basically don't prune mine unless there are stems with bare areas. Then I just snip them off and try to root them to make more plants. If this plant has enough light, it really shouldn't need much pruning because it shouldn't be leggy or have bare areas on the stems.
I bought a compacta last April or May (It's now Sept 2024) Boy, is she a s l o w grower! I have go my mom's Hoya Carnosa almost one year ago. The plant is about 60 years old, and as far as I know, she has only bloomed twice. I assume that mom was snipping the peduncle off after the blooms were done! I have it in a west window with bright filtered light. She is growing well, but so far, no peduncles.....
Here I am a year later...great video so much information thank you! I was just gifted a Hoya compacta and I adore and love her...wish me luck! She has damp soil still, I got her from a plant store (not big box) 5 days ago. I'm used to cacti and succulents so a little different. Should I be concerned it's still damp?
Nope, it's likely it was just watered! If it's from a nursery, they probably have it in good soil. I'd monitor it in its new conditions and adjust as necessary
@@ByBrittanyG why thank you so much! She seems to be a little unhappy as of late, some very wrinkly leaves. I am considering in a bit to pop her out of her pot and transistion her to pon. We shall see though, I'm a little nervous as I hear Hoya can throw fits and I don't want to cause her any issues!
I bought a tiny 2 in one, and day by day they get more mushy and yellow. 80% of the leaves are gone and it's only a matter of time till it's dead. And I do not get it, I watered it once in a month, and yet it seems overwatered
I'm sorry! :( It's possible you underwatered it if you only watered it once a month. Is it wrinkly and yellowing? Probably underwatering then. If not, maybe the soil is too dense? Do you have it in the mix it came in?

Have patience, I promise it's worth it!! I've had my hoya carnosa Chelsea for many years, and it hasn't flowered yet either.
@@ByBrittanyG Thanks... This one is around 60, and I am almost 68! She'd better hurry up! 😉
I have an Hoya Compacta. It hasn't started to trail, yet. I believe that I ordered mine from Bloomscape. It came with three different types of Hoyas.
It's worth the wait for this one to trail!!
