Should you water Hoyas from the bottom?

How do you make a Hoya bushy?

Pruning: You can prune a Hoya to control the size, make it more bushy, to thin it out or remove any dead growth. I don't prune off too many of short stalks from which the flowers emerge because hard bloom on new growth. In other words, a hard pruning which is sometimes necessary will delay the flowering process.
