• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid harsh, midday rays. Ideal for bright indoor spaces or near windows with filtered light.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining potting soil. A mix of potting soil with perlite or orchid bark ensures proper drainage and promotes healthy root growth.
• Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) and avoid cold drafts.
• Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity levels but appreciates higher humidity. Increase humidity by using a room humidifier, placing the plant on a humidity tray, or grouping with other plants.
• Maintenance: Prune as needed to maintain the plant’s shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them clean and glossy.

Tip: Hoyas are known for their slow growth, so be patient and enjoy their gradual but rewarding development.
