☀️ Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, but a little morning sun can be beneficial.
💧 Watering: Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. Hoyas prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant's growth slows.
🌧️ Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the pot on a tray of watered pebbles to increase ambient moisture.
🌡️ Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 15-29°C. Avoid sudden temperature changes and keep away from drafts and heating or cooling vents.
💊 Fertilizing: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer, diluted to half strength.
✂️ Pruning: Prune as needed to control growth or remove any unhealthy leaves. Be careful not to remove the spur (flowering site) as it produces flowers repeatedly.
🪴 Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a container only slightly larger than the previous one, as Hoyas prefer to be somewhat root-bound.
🌸 Flowering: The Hoya Krimson Queen produces fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Ensure adequate light and slightly stress the plant by allowing it to dry out completely between waterings to encourage blooming.
🪲 Pest Control: Inspect regularly for pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Treat infestations early with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
