Especially the more thick-leaved Hoya are not too finicky in terms of humidity, but most will thrive and grow faster if given a bit more. Most Hoyas will do great in moderate humidity of 40-60%. This can be beautiful, but you have to be careful not to overdo it light-wise or it will fully burn the plant and permanently damage the chlorophyll in the leaves in the process. Meanwhile, thinner-leaved Hoyas, such as Hoya Bella or Hoya Krohniana, will appreciate medium to bright indirect light.Ĭertain Hoya varieties might begin to redden their leaves due to sun stress, such as Hoya Wayetii Tricolor, for instance. The more succulent varieties with fleshy leaves, such as Hoya Kerrii or Hoya Calistophylla, can withstand full sun, so they will do great in a South-facing window or right under a small grow light. Hoyas can also be grown in semi-hydro substrates, such as Leca or PON or our Alocasia Mix, since they are particularly aerate. Epiphytic Hoyas in particular will also do well in spaghnum moss. A mixture of substrate, perlite and bark, such as it can also be found in our Aroid Potting Mix, will work great for most Hoyas. Hoyas will appreciate a lightweight and very airy potting mix.
If they do not dry out between waterings, they will rot quite easily. They like to dry out more than most plants, so only water them again once the soil is thoroughly dry. Wateringīe sure to water your Hoya thoroughly, so the entire soil becomes wet.
