I just got a Hoya Pubicalyx ‘splash’ from a plant nursery but I’ve never owned a Hoya before. So is there any tips and things I need to know to take care of him?

Hoya Pubicalyx is a fast growing easy care plant. It likes good drainage. Let the soil dry out before watering. They need bright indirect light. I recommend removing some of that potting soil from around the stem to expose the leaf nodes. New growth coming from the nodes could rot under the soil. 🍀🪴
