How to care for a hoya plant
- Light: bright, indirect light, enough to read by but not direct sun. Low light is the most common reason hoyas don't flower.
- Water: water thoroughly, then let the mix dry almost completely before watering again. Overwatering in poorly draining mix is the fastest way to lose a hoya.
- Soil and pot: a chunky, fast-draining mix, in a snug pot.
- Temperature: 65 to 80°F indoors. Avoid temperatures below 55°F.
