Hoya plants, hailing from low-water environments, are averse to excess moisture, and overwatering can lead to root rot. Water only when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid flooding the pot and ensure proper drainage for these amigos! Hoyas prefer higher humidity levels, so be sure to mist your plant regularly or place near a humidifier.

Although it has a tolerance for temperatures as low as 16°C, the Hoya prefers higher temperatures, up to and around 29°C. Humidity should be maintained between 40% to 60%. The best place to leave the plant is about 4-5 feet from a south-facing window, with the sunlight filtered through the glass. Other good places are kitchens and bathrooms with ample sunlight.

Feed your Hoya monthly from spring through summer using a plant-based fertilizer applied to the soil. No fertilizer is needed during the winter when the plant is dormant.
