🌱 Care Tips:

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays. Low light reduces blooming.

Water:
Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Hoyas are semi-succulent and prefer being slightly underwatered than overwatered.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Misting or a humidifier can help in drier climates, especially to encourage blooming.

Temperature:
Thrives in 18°C to 26°C (64°F–79°F). Protect from frost and sudden temperature changes.

Soil:
Well-draining soil is essential. Use a light mix with orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir for good aeration.

Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding in cooler months.

Pet Friendly:
⚠️ Mildly toxic if ingested. Best kept out of reach of pets and small children.
