Patience is the word for this one. Other than that it’s really been an easy going plant. 😄👏🏻

I fertilize mine with osmocote in the soil every 6 months and have it under a grow light year round— except for summer when it’s on my covered front porch!

0 LikesHappy birthday! This was also my first Hoya earlier this year! I’ve found the following to be helpful: - I keep her a few feet away from a south window (I’m in the north east of the USA so if you are in different area that might be too much sun). - I use orchid spray to fertilize, I spray it onto the leaves and on top of the substrate before watering.
3 Likesthank you!! yea i live on the east coast so not too far but i will take the sun note i think that’s the only thing i haven’t quite figured out yet
1 LikeHere’s a recipe for DIY Hoya mist. My Hoyas THRIVE since I’ve been using it. I used to buy orchid spray but hated the cost so I found this recipe. I’ve been using it for about 9 months. Every so often I post this screenshot of a prior post of mine from this app. Out of all 150 of my plants, Hoyas have quickly become my fav. They are sooooo fun to watch grow. 💚 Good luck!! 😊 I’ll find a ‘then’ and ‘now’ pic of my Lacunosa. The difference is amazing…..partly because of the Hoya mist.
