Care Instructions
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered bright light
Water
Allow soil to completely dry in between watering. The succulent leaves will hold water. During warmer months, keep the soil moist.
Repotting
Can be done every 12-18 months. Choose a pot that is 2” larger in diameter than the original pot. Only do so when necessary as Hoyas prefer to be rootbound.
Soil
Use a well-draining, chunky medium.
Temperature
Average from 65°F - 75°F
Feeding
Follow a monthly fertilizing schedule when the plant is actively growing. In most cases, this is in the spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer - this means a ratio of NPK that is all the same. Ex: 10-10-10.
Grooming
Place the plant under a showerhead to remove dust and debris.
Care
Provide a trellis for extra support and keep the plant appearing nice and tidy.
