How to Care for the Plant
Water
During warmer seasons, a watering every week is a must, however, always be careful not to overwater your plant! Hoya is very delicate. In the colder seasons, cut back on watering, and give your greenie a sip once every two weeks.
Pruning
Use clean pruning tools to give your greenie a little haircut. Any vines that look unorderly can be disposed of without feeling too guilty about it.
Fertilizer
A nitrogen/phosphorus rich, liquid fertilizer can be a welcome addition to your plant's life journey. Don't get too excited though! Be careful not to cause nutrient burn.
Sunlight
Hoya callistophylla thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. An east- or a north-facing window would be great.
Soil
Hoya thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic soil (6.3 to 7.5 pH). A perfect mix should contain perlite and peat moss.
Propagation
During the warm season, Hoya can be propagated through stem cuttings, leaf cuttings, and air layering. The cuttings method is your best bet. Simply choose 3-4 nodes, place them with the leaves above the water and the naked parts below, and wait until the rooting.
Temperature
A temperature range of 65 °F and 80 °F (18 °C to 27 °C) is the most comfortable for this greenie.
Container
This Hoya prefers to be root-bound, so the pot cannot be too big. Plastic containers make for good options.
Fun fact
Get some patience because this Hoya grows very slowly! It's totally worth it though.
