šiām not sure Iām doing anything special⦠Here are his parameters: He lives next to my hydroponics system, so getting a light spill of about 420 foot candles for 16 hours a day. 50 to 70% humidity. He is in LECA ā which was an immediate transfer after I got him and photographed him. I also rotate him every couple days so that he grows evenly.

Must be the leca and the humidity. I stopped putting my Hoya in soil because thats just not how they grow in their natural environment. I donāt have this plant but I couldnāt keep a Serpens alive until I took it out of soil and gave it more humid conditions. Iāve also heard so many people i follow on YouTube have amazing growth with Hoya in leca and/or pon. So Iāve heard this but never in relation to a compacta. Nice! š¤©

The idea of putting a Hoya in LECA was so unintuitive to me. I hesitated for a long time. But Iāve noticed that the ones that I have transitioned are doing better than the ones I havenāt, so Iāll be moving all of my collection over eventually. š¤

Hydroponics for THE WIN! Iāve moved just about 95% of my collection to Leca or pon or a mix of both, everything grows like CRAZY! And also, self watering pots! Absolute gamer changer and of course good light and humidity⦠even 40% humidity have my Hoyas THRIVING!!

Maybe the LECA. Iām rethinking mine now too! Mine is under a grow light and I have a humidifier right next to him. Whatever youāre doing, keep it up!
