How to Care for the Plant

Water
These flowering plants normally need about 0.8 cups of water every 12 days. If it's hot outside, mist your green pet and save him from the heat!
Pruning
Long stems can be pruned to stimulate growth and flowering. Use clean, sharp tools.
Fertilizer
A happy Hoya in proper conditions usually doesn't need to be fed. However, if you give your greenie some phosphorous and potassium once a month during the growing season, it might do a lot of good.

Sunlight
Partial shade and medium light are perfect for these plants. They might do well in full sun, however, it's best not to overexpose them to it: their leaves might turn yellow!
Soil
Ensure that the soil is well-drained and slightly acidic. Add organic matter, perlite, and vermiculite to the mix.
Propagation
Hoya is best propagated from cuttings, although the seed method is also common. Use rooting hormone and plant in a big enough pot with a well-drained medium.
