Hoya Plant Care

 

HOYA


☀️ Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate some direct sun.
💧 Water Requirements: Allow soil to dry out between waterings; avoid soggy soil.
🌱Fertilizer Frequency: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (March - October).
💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but is adaptable.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in 65-80°F (18-27°C); avoid cold drafts.
Soil Type:  Well-draining mix; orchid bark or perlite helps aeration.

⚠️ Common Issues & Solutions:

  • Root rot & yellowing leaves (from overwatering) → Allow soil to dry out completely before watering. Use a well-draining mix and a pot with drainage holes.
  • Mealybugs or pests → Wipe leaves with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Isolate infected plants to prevent spread.
  • Leaf drop (from low light or sudden change in environment) → Move to a brighter spot with stable conditions and avoid placing near cold drafts.
