Hi guys! I just recently got this Hoya and was wondering if these plants need to be misted. I wasn’t too sure and didn’t want to make any mistakes any help would be appreciated!

Using a humidifier is better than misting a plant. The water vapor from a humidifier is small and easier to absorb verses the larger droplets of water left with a mister. The water left can support mold growth.

There’s lots of controversy about whether misting does more harm than good or is just a waste of time. I have one of these Hoyas and live in a very dry state and mine does just fine without misting. It’s currently blooming 🌸

I don’t mist mine and it’s been growing well.

For my string of pearls, I used to mist the top and it helped fill the pot.

Thank you 🙂✨

Just keep in mind, we have different environments, temperature, humidity.

Adjust as your plant tells you what it needs.
