☀️ Lighting: Hoya Obovata thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
💧 Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Hoya Obovata prefers to be on the drier side, so be careful not to overwater. Reduce watering in the winter months.
🌧️ Humidity: This plant enjoys a humid environment. Regular misting or placing it near a humidifier can help, especially in drier conditions.
🌡️ Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 15 and 29°C. Avoid placing it in drafty areas or near air conditioners and heaters.
💊 Fertilizing: Fertilize every month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer, diluted to half the recommended strength.
✂️ Pruning: Pruning is rarely needed. If desired, trim the plant to maintain its shape or to remove any unhealthy leaves. Avoid cutting off the flower spurs, as these will produce flowers repeatedly.
🪴 Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one, as Hoyas prefer to be somewhat root-bound.
🌸 Flowering: Hoya Obovata produces beautiful star-shaped flowers. To encourage blooming, provide bright light and slightly stress the plant by allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
🪲 Pest Management: Be vigilant for pests like aphids and mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
