Soil Choice
Hoyas can be potted in a more conventional houseplant or succulent soil mix with fewer regular waterings, or they can be grown in an airy, well-draining mix that requires more frequent watering. Although airy soil mixtures promote faster and stronger plant growth, chunkier mixes need more careful maintenance. Perlite and orchid bark are added to common Hoya soil mixtures to modify succulent soil.
Pruning
Avoid cutting the lengthy tendrils while pruning! Long tendrils are produced by these plants, which eventually enlarge with leaves and peduncles.
Propagation
Hoya plants can be multiplied through air layering or stem cuttings. Include a few healthy leaves, please! Although it's much riskier, it's not impossible to grow Hoyas from a leafless cutting.
Repotting
Being root-bound doesn't bother hoyas. Maintain in the same container for many years, but don't forget to fertilize in the spring and summer. Be especially gentle with the plant if you decide to repot it: Repot in the spring, wait 2-3 days after your last watering, and treat the roots with extreme care. Just knock off any loose dirt instead of completely removing the old soil.
picking out a planter
All Hoyas must be potted in drainage-equipped containers. Overwatering may be quite harmful to these plants. Choose an unglazed terracotta planter for more airflow.
Sunstress
"Sun-stressing" Hoyas is a current fad in plants. Similar to how people tan, hoyas may alter their color to shield their leaves from excess sun. If you decide to give it a try, move slowly. Humans need time to develop a foundation tan in order to prevent sunburns, and the same is true for Hoyas!
