Hoya no flowers

A young hoya may grow vines for years before flowering. In a mature plant, a dim position is a useful first check. Flowering habits vary by species, so compare with the hoya you actually grow.

Keep the old flower spurs

Many common hoyas bloom again from the same short stalks, called peduncles. Leave them after the flowers fall unless they are dead. Long leafless searching vines can also be normal growth, so avoid cutting every bare extension.

Provide bright indirect light, introducing gentle direct sun gradually. Water for the species and feed during active growth. Once buds appear, avoid abrupt changes in placement or letting the root ball swing between very dry and saturated.
