Caring for Hoyas: Essential Tips
No matter which variety you choose, proper care is key to keeping your Hoyas happy:
- Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, and always use a well-draining potting mix.
- Humidity: Hoyas thrive in moderate to high humidity. Misting occasionally or placing them near a humidifier works wonders.
