Care Instructions

The Hoya sp. Germany is a low-maintenance plant that thrives with minimal effort, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant parents.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and vibrant variegation. While it can tolerate medium light, insufficient light may reduce the intensity of its variegation and slow its growth. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. The semi-succulent leaves store moisture, so it’s better to underwater than overwater. Water thoroughly when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Humidity: This tropical plant thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50–70%. While it adapts well to average household humidity, misting or placing it near a humidifier can help it thrive.
• Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 60–85°F (16–29°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or cold drafts, as these can harm the plant.
• Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for epiphytic plants. A combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss works well to mimic its natural growing conditions.
• Fertilizer: Feed your Hoya sp. Germany with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
