Where do you live? Canada isnโ€™t the best climate for them I guess. ๐Ÿ˜• #### Sunny replied on 2025-10-05 I live on the Texas southern coast, zone 9. The temperature is very hot in summer with high humidity. Most of the hoyas I have can bloom in household temperatures with moderate humidity if the lighting and fertilization is good. I found that my hoyas readily bloom with direct sunlight on the leaves. I have to use eastern morning light. Midday sun burns the plants unless itโ€™s filtered through gauze or sheer currents. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
