Light

Hoya Carnosa thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct morning sunlight but avoid harsh afternoon sun, as it may scorch the leaves.

Temperature

Maintain a temperature range between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Watering

Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly in the winter months. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Soil

Plant your Hoya Carnosa in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. A mix of potting soil and perlite or orchid bark works well.

Humidity

Hoya Carnosa appreciates higher humidity levels. Regular misting or using a humidity tray can help maintain optimal moisture levels, especially in drier indoor environments.
