This is one of my favourite plants. I didn’t know how to take care of it properly for a long time and it lost so many leaves after I got it.

I transferred it to leca a year ago and put it on my southwest windowsill in June, and it’s really taken off!

It looks great. 😍 Hoya Australis Lisa loves bright lights.

I’ve got one and love it. But it got pests n freaked me out. Dropped leaves. I repotted it, sprayed it for whatever pests and I put it in Mollys mix soil and put it in a brighter light. It’s getting better. Give it a bit of change. They are hardy. Give it time it will bounce back.
