Growing and Caring for Hoya Carnosa

Hoyas are epiphytic vines, which means they naturally grow on the branches of trees. Their roots require well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Here are some care tips to keep your Hoya Carnosa thriving:

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot.
  • Light: Hoyas prefer indirect light. Brighter light will enhance the color of the foliage, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
  • Watering: Allow the soil to nearly completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering can cause leaves to yellow and fall off, while underwatering leads to drooping and wrinkling leaves.
  • Humidity: Hoyas are generally happy with average household humidity. They can tolerate lower humidity levels but will appreciate occasional misting.
  • Fertilizing: Fertilize monthly during the spring and summer with a diluted general houseplant fertilizer.
  • Propagation: Hoya cuttings can be rooted in water or soil. This makes it easy to share your plant with friends or expand your own collection.

Signs Your Hoya Needs Extra Love

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatered
  • Drooping leaves or dry potting mix: Underwatered
