Distinctive Features

Care Tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light is essential for optimal growth and variegation. Some direct morning or evening sun can enhance the colours of the leaves.
• Water: Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
• Humidity: This Hoya appreciates moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray, or misting the leaves regularly.
• Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures between 18-29°C (65-85°F) for optimal growth.
• Fertiliser: Use a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during the spring and summer growing seasons.
• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years as needed, using a well-draining potting mix.

Additional Notes

• The intensity of the variegation on the leaves can be influenced by light levels. More light generally results in brighter variegation.
• Provide good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.
• This Hoya can be propagated through stem cuttings.
