🌿 About the Hoya Plant

Hoyas, often called wax plants, are tropical vines native to Southeast Asia. They are known for their attractive foliage and clusters of fragrant, starry flowers. The variegated variety features leaves with creamy white or pink edges, adding even more visual appeal. Easy to care for and tolerant of some neglect, Hoyas make excellent houseplants.

💧 Hoya Care Tips

1. Light:
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during hot afternoons, as it can scorch the leaves. Variegated types need a bit more light to maintain their beautiful colors.

2. Watering:
Let the soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering is the most common mistake. When in doubt, it's better to underwater than overwater.

3. Humidity:
Hoyas prefer moderate to high humidity. You can mist the plant occasionally or place a humidifier nearby if your space is too dry.

4. Soil:
Use well-draining soil—cactus or succulent mix works well. You can also mix regular potting soil with perlite for extra drainage.

5. Temperature:
Ideal range is between 18°C to 26°C. Avoid placing it near cold drafts or air conditioning vents.

6. Fertilizer:
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

7. Support:
Trellis or stakes are perfect for guiding your Hoya’s vines, keeping the plant neat and enhancing its vertical charm.

    Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned plant parent, Hoyas are a joy to grow and admire. With just a little care, your trellised Hoya will reward you with lush foliage and delightful blooms.
