When provided with favourable conditions, Hoya produces fragrant, long-lasting blooms. Although they look lovely when we allow their foliage to cascade freely, be mindful that they are naturally climbers, so they can also be trained to grow upon a trellis or vine against something to guide vertical growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThrives with consistent bright, indirect light.

If the Hoya is in potting soil, you typically want to wait for the soil to be about 70-90 percent dry before watering. If the Hoya is in a chunkier mix (intended for epiphytes), then you will typically have to water more frequently since water is bound to work its way through the potting media quickly. In the case of chunkier media, water when the first 1\/4-1\/3 of the substrate feels dry. It is essential to Hoya health to refrain from keeping any potting media constantly wet, as Hoyas can be sensitive to overwatering, and this can quickly lead to root rot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDoes best with moderate to high humidity, which can help it bloom, but this plant is adaptable to household humidity.
