• Toxicity: Hoya are widely known to be non-toxic to humans and animals yet if ingested may cause reactions in certain individuals. More research is needed in this area. As with all plants, we recommend you exercise caution around children and pets and keep plants out of reach.

To keep your Hoya Hanhai thriving, place it in a location with bright, indirect light, as too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. Water it sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. For optimal growth, ensure good humidity levels and use a well-draining potting mix, making your Hoya Hanhai a low-maintenance yet rewarding plant to care for.
