Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Gentle morning sun is tolerated but avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
  • Ideal Room: Living rooms, plant rooms, bright bedrooms, bathrooms, or greenhouse cabinets
  • Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser; Hoyas appreciate a calcium boost for strong growth.
  • Humidity: Prefers 60–80% humidity; adapts well to household humidity but thrives with added moisture.
  • Ideal Temperature: 18–28°C; protect from temperatures below 15°C.
  • Watering: Allow the top 2–5 cm of soil to dry before watering. Avoid waterlogged soil—this Hoya dislikes “wet feet.”
  • Pet/Child Safe: Non-Toxic (genus level) .
  • Soil Type: Chunky, airy epiphytic mix with bark, perlite, pumice, and coco coir
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings in water, moss, or soil; roots faster with bottom heat and high humidity
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Long vining growth up to 1–2 metres indoors with support
  • Growth Rate: Moderate to fast in warm, bright conditions
  • Pests and Treatment: Watch for mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips; treat with neem oil or Hoya-safe insecticides
  • Repotting: Every 2–3 years; prefers being slightly root-bound
  • Pruning: Trim lightly to manage vine length; never remove peduncles as they rebloom yearly
  • Air Purification: Good; helps clean indoor air while offering striking ornamental foliage
  • Folklore: Large-leaf Hoyas are often associated with abundance and growth, symbolising steady progress and harmony in the home
