How much sun do Hoyas need?
Hoyas do best in bright, indirect light. They will do well near a window but out of harsh, direct sun. Hang them up, let them trail, or display them on a shelf near a window.
How often do you water Hoyas?
Water when the top two inches of soil are dry—usually once every 10-14 days. In bright, dry spaces, water weekly. In humid, dim areas, wait a bit longer. You can test the dryness of the soil by sticking your finger a few inches deep.
Are Hoyas pet-friendly?
Yes, hoyas are non-toxic to cats and dogs, so they’re a safe choice for pet-friendly homes.
