Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it’s best to provide filtered light to preserve the vibrancy of the foliage and blooms.
  • Ideal Room: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices with bright indirect light. It can also thrive in a bathroom with higher humidity levels.
  • Feeding: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when the plant is dormant.
  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity. Keep it in a humid room, use a humidifier, or place it on a humidity tray to maintain the moisture levels required for optimal growth.
  • Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it is sensitive to frost.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Be sure the pot has good drainage to prevent water retention, which can lead to root rot.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Non-toxic to pets and children, making it a safe addition to homes with animals and young children.
  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent mix, to ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot.
  • Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings, typically by taking a cutting with a few leaves and rooting it in water or directly in moist soil.
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Typically grows up to 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) tall and wide, forming a trailing or climbing vine with dense, waxy leaves and beautiful clusters of flowers.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate-growing. It may take time for the plant to establish, but once settled, it will produce stunning flowers regularly.
  • Pests and Treatment: Hoya species are generally pest-resistant, but can occasionally be affected by mealybugs, aphids, or spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with good drainage and fresh, well-draining soil to promote healthy root growth.
  • Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and control growth. Remove any dead or damaged growth to encourage new, healthy stems and flowers.
  • Air Purification: Like many houseplants, Hoya helps improve indoor air quality by filtering out toxins, making it a great addition to any home or office.
  • Folklore: Hoyas are often seen as symbols of love, beauty, and good fortune. The red blooms of Hoya blashernaezii siariae are believed to symbolize passion and energy, making it a perfect plant for creating a lively and positive environment.
