HOYA AUSTRALIS

Thrives in bright indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct mid-day sun as leaves will burn.
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.

Hoyas prefer to be tight in their pots. If repotting, keep the pot the same size as what it is currently in. These plants can go years without repotting.
