Daily care and tips for Hello

How do you care for a Hoya day to day?

Hoya requires infrequent watering, about every 10 to 15 days, allowing the growing medium to dry out between waterings. Bright, indirect light and ambient humidity of around 50% promote dense foliage and regular flowering.

What kind of light is best for a Hoya?

The Hoya needs bright, indirect light, ideally within three feet of an east- or west-facing window. If the room doesn’t get enough light, our full-spectrum grow light for indoor plants can effectively make up for it without risking sunburn on the foliage.

Why isn’t my Hoya flowering?

A lack of flowering is often due to insufficient light or a plant that is still too young, as Hoya generally flowers after several years. A brighter location and a regular application of fertilizer during the growing season encourage the appearance of flower umbels.

Can you put a Hoya outside in summer?

The Hoya can spend the 'summer outdoors as long as temperatures remain above 15°C, sheltered from direct sunlight and draughts'It should be brought indoors before the first cool autumn nights'.

How do I repot a Hoya?

Wait 2 to 3 weeks after receiving your plant to let it acclimate before repotting, then choose a pot only slightly larger than the old one. A very well-draining substrate such as our "Special Hoya Potting Mix" is essential to prevent excess moisture around the roots.

Everything you need to know about Hello

What are the most popular varieties of Hoya?

Hoya Carnosa Compacta, also called the Hindu rope plant, has leaves that curl in spirals along its stems. The more compact Hoya Curtisii develops marbled foliage, making it ideal for small spaces.

Is Hoya toxic to cats and dogs?

No, Hoya is classified as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the'ASPCA. It can therefore be kept in a home with pets without any particular risk, although eating the foliage is'never recommended.

Which Hoya should I choose for a low-light apartment?

Hoya Krohniana and Hoya Curtisii tolerate moderate light better than varieties with variegated foliage. However, flowering is less prolific without bright light, as the plant then prioritizes foliage growth.

Can you put a Hoya in a living room?
