Plant Care
- Light :
Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light but avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the foliage.
- Watering :
Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Hoyas dislike being kept constantly wet – overwatering may cause root issues
- Feeding :
Use a good quality orchid liquid fertiliser throughout the growing season ( spring and summer ). Feed every 4-6 weeks
- Soil :
Re-pot with a free-draining mix, such as cacti and succulent potting mix.
