3" HOYA LATIFOLIA sp. SARAWAK

Thrives in bright indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun as leaves will burn. Morning direct sun is acceptable. Sun-stressing will produce maroon leaves with green veins.
Hoyas will produce clusters of star-shaped flowers. Don't cut the flower stem once the flowers are spent. Leave them as this is where the plant will flower from in the future! Do not attempt to move your hoya once in bloom, they are sensitive to change during this time and might drop the flowers.

Fertilize once a month during the spring and summer or with every watering using a diluted liquid fertilizer. Dilute based on frequency and the instructions of the fertilizer being used. Orchid fertilizer can also be used for Hoyas.
