Bright indirect light, tolerates an hour or two of direct light and the extra light allows for it to bloom. Just make sure its not too much so it doesnt burn. Give it a rly chunky soil, or rly just any mix u have on hand that has rly great aeration and drainage. Don't water too often, they like to dry out.. uhhhhhhh they like to be a little snug in pots so try not to size up too big every time.. aaand I think that's it. ?¿ they're very easy care but most tend to grow very slowly. They require a lot of patience and are very easy for underwaterers.

What gunkbuggie said…here is a picture of my Hoya “Sunrise”. I got it a moss pole to climb on.
