My Hoyas are my favorites! Let them practically dry out before watering. Also, mine have done even better, and no gnats, since I started bottom watering.

There’s also a Hoya group in this app

TYY! I totally forgot there was a hoya group!! but I'll definitely keep in mind about the bottom watering!

Lots of bright light so the variegation doesn't revert on you.
