Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your five assorted hoya plants is a rewarding experience, as these resilient plants are relatively easy to maintain once their basic needs are met. For optimal growth and flowering, providing the right environmental conditions is key. Hoyas thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as this can scorch their leaves. An east or west-facing window is often ideal, or a south-facing window with sheer curtains to diffuse the light. Good air circulation is also beneficial for these easy care houseplants.

When it comes to watering, Hoyas prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue that can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to allow the top inch or two of soil to dry before watering again. During the active growing season (spring and summer), they may need more frequent watering, while in fall and winter, their water needs decrease significantly. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for houseplants or succulents, ensuring excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging. A terracotta pot can also help wick away excess moisture. These trailing indoor plants appreciate average household temperatures and humidity, making them well-suited for most indoor environments. They generally prefer temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and can tolerate slightly lower humidity levels. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Remember, a thriving Hoya live plant will reward you with beautiful foliage and potentially stunning blooms.
