Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Hoyas thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a bright window, such as a south or west-facing window, but shield them from direct midday sun to prevent scorching, which can damage the leaves.
  East-facing windows are often ideal, offering gentle morning sun without the intensity that can damage the plant. You can also place them in a bright room or a warm conservatory.
  Sufficient bright light is crucial for Hoyas to flower successfully.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  Allow the top few centimetres of the soil to dry out before watering.
  Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the plant.
  Water Hoyas regularly during the growing season (spring to autumn), keeping the compost moist but not waterlogged.
  Reduce watering frequency during the cooler winter months.
  Hoyas may drop their flower buds if the compost is too dry or too wet, so be careful with watering when the plant is in bud.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Hoyas prefer moderate to high humidity level.
  If you need to increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  They prefer average room temperatures of 16–24°C in spring-summer.
  They need a cooler, drier period in winter to enter a semi-dormant state.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Hoyas require a very light fertilisation. This can be applied every couple of weeks during the spring and summer. Reduce or stop fertilising during the winter months when growth slows.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Light pruning in late winter/early spring can help manage growth.
  Hoyas can stay in the same pot for several years.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves and stems with clean, sharp tools.
