Don’t trim it because leaves will grow on it! Hoyas put out runners first because they’re epiphytes and are trying to find something like a tree to grow on

### Alyssa ha commentato il 2024-06-16

Exactly what Tanya said, but also if you want to trellis it, it will be really happy especially when it’s putting it out a new leaf. Just make sure to wrap the tendril counter clockwise, (wound in a spiral to the left)

#### Brendan ha risposto il 2024-06-16

I’ve never heard this about wrapping the tendrils a specific direction! Is this because the plant always naturally wraps that same direction?

#### Alyssa ha risposto il 2024-06-16

Yes! In nature it grows that same direction around branches and other plants and if it’s wound the other way it usually doesn’t know where to grow or doesn’t grow that much

#### Brendan ha risposto il 2024-06-16

Neat! Thanks!

#### Alyssa ha risposto il 2024-06-16

Sure!

Omg amazing thanks everyone

I didn’t know about the direction of spiraling vines. I try to not let them spiral using butterfly clips to make it easier to replace the trellis.
