*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 and will benefit from a few hours of direct sun from an Eastern or Western-facing window.
Water
Water when the soil almost completely dries out. Hoyas are very sensitive to overwatering or water-logged soil. Err on the side of underwatering vs. overwatering.
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. Use a balanced houseplant or orchid fertilizer.
Toxicity
This plant is not considered toxic but the sap can cause irritations in people with latex allergies.
