Hoyas are a classic, hardy tropical houseplant prized for their waxy leaves along trailing tendrils and, eventually, showy flowers.
Bright to very bright, indirect light. Prefers natural light over artificial light.
Water when soil becomes dry. Avoid over-watering.
Prefers average home temperatures
Fertilize monthly spring through fall with a balanced liquid fertilizer at the recommended rate. Good drainage is key with hoyas; they dislike being soggy. Hoyas enjoy being slightly root-bound, so they can stay in the same pot for years. Many will eventually flower when the plant reaches maturity.
