Care

🌤️ Light

• Bright location with plenty of indirect light.
• A few hours of morning or evening sun promotes flowering.
• Too little light often results in the plant not blooming.

💧 Watering

• Only water when the soil has dried out well.
• Hoyas tolerate short dry periods better than waterlogging.

🌡️ Temperature

• Optimal temperature is 18–28 °C.
• In winter, many species like a slightly cooler resting period (15–18 °C), which can promote flowering.

💦 Humidity

• Normal indoor air is well tolerated.
• Higher humidity ensures stronger growth and larger flowers.

🌱 Fertilizing

• During the growing season, every 3–4 weeks with a green or flowering plant fertilizer.
• Fertilize sparingly or not at all in winter.

Special features

• Do not cut off flower stems! After flowering, the short flower stems (spurs) remain. New flowers often develop from them year after year.
• Hoyas often grow slowly at first. However, once they have settled in, the shoots can reach several meters in length.
• They prefer rather small pots and often bloom better when the roots fill the pot well.
