*This plant is not considered toxic. However, hoyas have sap that may trigger a reaction with folks that have latex allergies.

Light
Thrives in bright indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun as leaves will burn. Morning direct sun would be acceptable and should not burn leaves.
Water
Allow the potting medium to dry out almost completely but be aware that the coconut husk mix that the Hoya is in is very well-draining and dries quicker than typical houseplant potting soil. Do not allow to go too dry for too long.
Tips
- 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.
Toxicity
This plant is not considered toxic to pets or people but may cause a reaction in folks who have a latex allergy.
