☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Wax Plant thrives in well-lit areas with filtered sunlight. It can tolerate direct sunlight in the mornings and late afternoons but prefers dappled light throughout the day. Adequate lighting is crucial for promoting leaf variegation and encouraging flowering.
? Water
??▫️ (Medium)
Water your Hoya when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging. These plants like their soil to be moist but not soaked. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to err on the side of underwatering.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
Hoyas prefer average room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. They can tolerate a few degrees warmer but try to avoid drastic temperature changes which can stress the plant.
? Humidity
??▫️ (Moderate)
A humidity level of 60% to 80% is ideal for Hoya Wax Plants. If your home is dry, especially in winter, consider using a humidifier or placing a water tray near the plant to increase moisture in the air.
? Repotting
Repot your Hoya every 2 to 3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix designed for epiphytic plants, such as those containing perlite, orchid bark, and peat moss. This will help ensure the roots are healthy and breathing well.
? Pet Friendliness
This plant is a pet-friendly choice, safe for cats and dogs. You can feel comfortable placing it in accessible areas of your home without worrying about the safety of your furry friends.
? Recommended locations at home
Perfect spots for your Hoya include near east or west-facing windows where it can enjoy the morning or late afternoon sun. They also do well in bathrooms where humidity levels are higher, provided there’s sufficient light.
? Air Purifying
While Hoyas are not specifically known for air-purifying abilities, they do contribute to a healthier home environment by adding humidity and producing oxygen.
