man su says: | By default, the environment is unmodified with the exception of USER, | HOME, and SHELL. HOME and SHELL are set to the target login's default | values. USER is set to the target login, unless the target login has a | user ID of 0, in which case it is unmodified. The invoked shell is the | one belonging to the target login. So if you are sued as root, $HOME is set to /root - that's why ssh reads its configuration from /root/.ssh/ So perhaps you want to try "su -m" as the manpage says: | -m Leave the environment unmodified.
