Easy Care Tips: These plants are relatively low-maintenance, requiring well-draining soil and humid conditions. They thrive in partial sunlight, but should be brought indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F. Avoid overwatering and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. A monthly feeding with compost tea or diluted fish emulsion will provide ample nutrients.
One of the most important tips for caring for your Hoya is to leave the flower stalk intact after blooming, as it may produce new flowers. Removing the stalk will only delay blooming and waste the plant’s energy. These plants also prefer to be slightly root-bound, so avoid repotting them into larger containers too soon. This encourages more prolific flowering. The benefits of owning this plant include its easy care, beautiful blooms, and unique foliage.
