Keep under cover so you can control the moisture in the pot which cannot be wet …but keep just moist. Use a well drained mix or just add 40% semi-fine perlite to regular potting mix. We simply use the mix we pot our regular plants in without adding anything. Add some one fifth teaspoon slow release granular fertiliser.

10 Key Hoya Care Tips

1. Bright, Indirect Light
Hoyas thrive in bright filtered light. Too much direct sun can scorch their leaves, but too little light reduces flowering.

2. Let Soil Dry Between Watering
Allow the top third of the potting mix to dry before rewatering. Overwatering is a common killer of Hoyas.

3. Use Well-Draining Potting Mix
A chunky, airy mix works best—think orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coir. Avoid heavy or moisture-retaining soils.

4. Keep Humidity Moderate to High
Hoyas appreciate humidity, especially during flowering. Aim for 50–70% if possible, though they tolerate lower levels.

5.Fertilise During Active Growth
Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Reduce in winter.

6.Don’t Cut the Long Tendrils
These vining growths eventually produce leaves and flowers. Resist the urge to trim them prematurely.

7.Leave Old Flower Spurs
Hoyas bloom from the same spurs year after year—never cut them off!

8. Pot Tightly, Not Too Large
Hoyas prefer being snug in their pots. Overpotting can lead to root rot and fewer flowers.

9..Provide Support for Climbing Varieties
Give them a trellis, hoop, or hanging basket—Hoyas love to twine and show off their trailing beauty.

10. Watch for Pests
Check regularly for mealybugs, scale, and spider mites. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap at first signs.
