☀️ Light Requirements: Hoya Shepherdii prefers bright, indirect light. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can hinder growth and flowering.
💧 Watering: Water your Hoya Shepherdii when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. These plants are susceptible to overwatering, so ensure the pot has good drainage. During the winter months, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows down.
🌧️ Humidity: This plant enjoys a humid environment, typical of its native tropical habitat. Aim for a humidity level of 40-60%. You can increase humidity with a humidifier, pebble tray, or by grouping plants together.
🌡️ 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: Feed your Hoya Shepherdii with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter months.
✂️ Pruning: Pruning is not frequently required, but you can trim the plant to maintain its shape or remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth.
🪴 Repotting: Repot your Hoya Shepherdii every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for epiphytes or succulents to prevent waterlogging.
🪲 Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat any infestations early with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent them from spreading.
