🩷Hoya Grow and Care Instructions🩷

~ Grow Instructions ~

Hoya seeds are sown in a loose substrate consisting of an earth mixture and cut moss-sphagnum. When you plant Hoyas seeds make sure that they have room to grow. Make an inch-deep hole in the mix, placing one seed per hole. Cover the seed with a thin layer of potting mix.

Make sure to keep your soil moist to keep the Hoyas seeds and plantlets healthy and growing as they should. Seeds germinate within a week, and as soon as seedlings appear, you should make sure that the soil in the crops never dries up and at the same time is not wet. Keep the container with the seedlings in a warm, bright place.

To prevent fungal diseases, spray the seedlings with Bordeaux mixture or any other copper-containing preparation in strict accordance with the instructions. After 90 days, when the seedlings release several pairs of leaves, they are planted in personal containers.

Pests and diseases

Hoya trees are very resistant to all troubles, but if they grow in unsuitable conditions and are poorly cared for, then plants may have problems with scabies, aphids and red spider mites, the fight against which is to treat hoya with insecticide, you can also wipe the leaves with a swab soaked in alcohol. And so that the hoya is not pestered by nematodes, the soil and container are necessarily sterilized when transplanting the plant.

No flowers? 

Usually, the reasons that the hoya refuses to bloom are wintering in a room that is too warm, excessive fertilizing, too much pruning, or lack of lighting. It is necessary to correct mistakes in care: give the plant a rest in the winter in a cool room on a insulated unheated loggia or balcony, reducing watering and stopping fertilizing, and in the spring bring the hoya into the heat under bright diffused light, resume watering and fertilizing. Also make sure that the container for hoya is not too large. 15-20 cm in diameter is enough for an adult plant.

Light

Select a place that gets bright, indirect light. Don’t let their waxy foliage fool you. They are not succulents and can’t take harsh afternoon light. They will grow in lower light situations but it’s unlikely they will bloom. 

Soil and Repotting

Potting soil with good air circulation is very important for Hoya. To create a perfect blend mix equal parts of Espoma’s organic Cactus Mix, Orchid Mix, and Perlite. Hoya like to be pot-bound or crowded in their pots. They will only need to be repotted every two or three years.

Water

Water regularly with room-temperature water, spring through summer. Let the top layer of soil dry between watering. In the fall and winter growth naturally slows down and they won’t use as much water. Water sparingly during fall and winter, give them just enough that the soil doesn’t dry out completely. Too much water can cause flowers to drop.

Humidity 

Hoya are tropical plants that thrive in humid conditions. Use a humidifier to bring the humidity levels up, especially in winter when indoor air tends to be dry. A saucer with gravel and water also provides humidity as the water evaporates. Misting with room-temperature water also helps but avoid spraying the flowers.

Temperature

Keep the room temperature warm year-round, try not to let it drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s also best to keep plants from touching cold windows and away from heating and cooling vents.

Pruning

Prune in spring before vigorous growth begins. The stems with no leaves are called spurs and shouldn’t be removed. Flowers are produced on the same spurs year after year. Hoya are vining plants that will happily cascade from a shelf or window sill. Conversely, they are often trained onto trellises that are either vertical or circular, giving the impression of a more robust plant.

Fertilizer          

Orchid liquid fertilizer is perfect for Hoya. The dosing cap eliminates measuring and gives exactly the right amount every time. Feed once a month from spring through fall.
