Maintenance Notes:

* For optimal performance, keep your Hoya at 69-85F (15-29C)

* Hoyas perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. They will tolerate low light conditions, but will not grow as vigorously or show their colours as vibrantly. Some early morning or late evening sunlight maybe tolerated and cause some sought-after ‘blushing’ to appear, but monitor your Hoya for leaf burning if it is in direct sun.

*Hoyas are generally adaptable to ambient housebound humidity, but they do appreciate higher humidity. You can help get humidity above 60% by using a humidifier, misting your Hoya, or keeping it on a pebble tray.

*Hoyas prefer to dry out in between waterings. As such water your Hoya thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of the soil feels dry. They can tolerate periods of drought, and overwatering them will cause more harm than underwatering.

* Feed your Hoya once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does  or need to be fertilized.

* When repotting your Hoya, use a chunky all purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Hoya has good drainage and plenty of nutrients.

* Hoyas are vines, capable of trailing or climbing. If you’d like it to climb, provide it with structure, such as a moss pole, trellis, stakes, or other structure.
