Favourable indoor pitches

To l'inside, prefer a location near d'a window oriented to l'is or'west, where sunlight is filtered and soft. The south-facing windows may also be suitable, provided that:'Avoid l'direct exposure to the sun (especially in summer), which could burn leaves. If direct light is unavoidable, consider having a veil.

Plant-specific LEDs, regulated on a growth-promoting spectrum, can help Hoya maintain their growth and potentially bloom even in l'lack of sufficient natural light.
