# Got this beautiful Black Margin today in a plastic pot with drainage…

_Posted by Lina on 2025-01-25_

Got this beautiful Black Margin today in a plastic pot with drainage holes. I went ahead and watered it, but I am new to Hoyas and what kind of care this plant may need. My house doesn’t get too much light (in addition to being in the middle of a midwest winter), so I’ve put it in my kitchen plant window. Will this give it enough light? How often should I be watering? Fertilizing? Thank you!!!

South or west window would be best. You could supplement with a grow light if you don’t have good lighting for the plant. Water when it’s 3/4 dry. I fertilize my plants as long as they’re actively growing

Thank you! (:

An east window will work too and hoyas can take the full direct light of the morning sun. You will have to filter the south and west light with sheer curtains or a window film to prevent burns.
