Hoya do best in bright, indirect light. Plants with thicker leaves will tolerate more light than those with thinner leaves.

In the home, place in an East or South window with a sheer curtain.

Avoid direct sunlight to prevent scortching the leaves.

Hoya are best grown in warm-intermediate temperatures (between 70F and 85F during day and down to 60F at night).

Plants should be watered very thoroughly until water is draining from the bottom of the pot. After watering, let the plant dry out nearly completely before watering again - hoya do not like to stay wet and will not tolerate being watered too often.

A great tip I learned is to weigh the pots just after watering/draining and then weigh everyday. Once the weight of the plant plateaus water the plant again. In a dry environment, this may be about once per week, but can be less depending on growing conditions in your environment.

You can also watch for the leaves to slightly wrinkle before watering again - this method does not work well with thicker leaved plants such as H. curtisii.

Use a balanced fertilizer (i.e. 20-20-20) during the growing season (spring and summer) - apply every other week or once per month. Reduce fertilizing or stop completely in the fall and winter.

Hoya prefer being root bound and will not require frequent repotting. Repot when the soil is broken down/retaining too much water for too long, or when the plant is very root bound.

Pot using a very well draining mix - we use a mix of potting soil with bark, perlite, and coco fiber.

When cutting any parts of the plant during a repot, use sterilized cutting toolsand potting instruments to prevent any spread of disease. We recommend spraying pruners with rubbing alcohol or using a flame/torch on the blade.
