What is the best liquid fertiliser for hoyas? Orchid, cactus or general purpose potted plant fertiliser?

Strike Back is great! Use half dosage on every other watering during growing season. And I have slow release fertilizers on it at all times.

I’ve been told that orchid fertilizer is supposed to be great for hoyas.

Hi, I’ve been told, by a professional nursery owner in CA, to use 20-20-20, every watering

What does that mean? Is that a brand? I’m in Australia.

Right now I use a regular liquid fertilizer. I only have two that have bloomed. Of If I switch to the 20-20-20 fertilizer that I may get some of my others to bloom?

### TreseaB commented on 2026-01-30

Oh, it’s the NPK numbers on any brand of fertilizer! Do you have Amazon? If you do, just type in 20-20-20 fertilizer and it will give you some. I’m sending you a picture of mine
