Since Hoyas are epiphytes they love a good chunky mix, especially with some coco chips or bark so they can get some good airflow to the roots. I also figured out they LOVE humidity. They do just fine at ambient levels but the Hoyas in my growth chamber and bathroom grow significantly faster than the others I have indoors. They also appreciate more frequent watering than what I was lead to believe based on online research, but it could just be due to my soil mix and the airflow in my apartment.
