Hi yâall, I moved to a new apartment and it had the cutest sunroom with so many windows & skylights. so I got 3 hanging planters. Today I put a different Hoya in each planter. Looking for any tips or advice to keep them alive?! Thank you âşď¸đŞ´ Hoya Kerrii Hoya Wayetti (tricolor) Hoya Black Margin PS, BookNook attached đ¤
Oh to have a room like this! My advice: slam them with light, offer humidity, and try out LECAâ Iâve had some great growth with that. :)
1 gilla Thank you! What is LECA?
0 gillningar Long story short, theyâre basically little clay balls that allow for semi hydroponic growing. Itâs a great way to have a ton more plans with a ton less maintenance and work great for Hoyas. If youâre interested. I would recommend the LECA Queen on YouTube for the best explanation of how to use it, and how to transfer your plants. She breaks it down really well to help you understand whatâs best for each species.

What direction does that room face? They are very high and a little far from the window so unless itâs a due south space, I might move them a little closer to the window. All three are easy to grow. Kerii and verticilata black margin will want to climb eventually.

i would not consider h. wayetii easy to grow. mine has been very slow, and hates being moved. iâve even had stems die in the pot from too low light while directly in a south facing window (wintertime in new england)
1 gilla Wowza, itâs one of my easiest Hoya! It flowered for me in my pathetic Northern bedroom window.
1 gilla Iâll keep yall posted!
0 gillningar iâd like to update yâall that my wayetii was in too big of a potâ which explains a lot of the issues i was having. if itâs potted in an appropriate mix and appropriately sized pot it should grow better than mine đ
0 gillningar as long as they are getting lots of light they should be fine. all three should be planted in a chunky fir bark or coco husk based media, as hoya are epiphytes and donât actually need soil to survive
