☀️ Light: Hoya Plicata prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near a window that receives filtered sunlight is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
💧 Watering: Water your Hoya Plicata when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. These plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
🌧️ Humidity: As a tropical plant, Hoya Plicata enjoys high humidity. A humidity level of 60% or higher is ideal. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier nearby, using a pebble tray, or misting the plant regularly.
🌡️ Temperature: Keep your Hoya Shepherdii in a warm environment, ideally between 15°C and 27°C (60°F and 80°F). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 10°C (50°F) and protect it from drafts.
💊 Feeding: Fertilize your Hoya Plicata with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows down.
✂️ Pruning: Prune your Hoya Plicata to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Always use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Note that Hoyas bloom from spurs on old growth, so be cautious not to remove these unless absolutely necessary.
🪴 Repotting: Repot your Hoya Plicata every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot just slightly larger than the current one to prevent overwatering issues.
🪲 Pest Management: Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil, ensuring to follow the product instructions.
