Care

General Maintenance: The Hoya Pubicalyx is a vigorous-growing, vine plant, with leaves that will spread over the side of the pot. These plants actually prefer to be a bit root bound, so repotting is not required often. Good drainage is a must, so a terra cotta pot with holes would be a good choice. It would also appreciate some vertical support, as it can grow upwards too.

Temperature: It does best in 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Be sure not to expose it to less then 10 degrees Celsius and watch out for those cold drafts in the winter.

Light: This plant enjoys medium to bright, but indirect, sunlight. It loves locations near windows, but not directly in them, as the leaves will scorch. It does best with 6 hours of sunlight per day.

Watering: While the Hoya Pubicalyx is a drought-tolerant houseplant, you still need to water it regularly during growing season. Water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, being very careful to not over water! Ensure it drains well. Rainwater or filtered water is recommended

Soil: This plant prefers a light, airy, and well drained soil mixture. Rich soils that are full of organic content & nutrients really help Hoyas take off.

Fertilizer: A fertilizer high in potassium would be lovely, for the Hoya, such as a liquid fertilizer. It will only need a little during the spring & summer, just to encourage flowers. Avoid fertilizing in the winter!
