Pro Tip
Hold off on repotting too soon—Hoyas tend to bloom best when slightly rootbound. Encourage flowering with consistent light and minimal disturbance.
-
Light and Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can handle some morning sun or dappled light throughout the day. The more light it receives, the more vivid the leaf edges become—often taking on a deep red or burgundy tone. Avoid prolonged harsh sun, which can cause leaf burn.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top half of the soil has dried out. Hoya wayetii stores moisture in its thick leaves, so it prefers to dry out a bit between waterings. Use a chunky, free-draining mix and avoid soggy conditions. It appreciates moderate humidity but adapts well to standard indoor levels.
-
Growth and Size
A trailing or hanging plant that can grow several feet long indoors. Its vines can be left to cascade or gently trained around a hoop or trellis. With proper care, it may bloom once mature.
