Care Instructions

The Hoya Mirabilis is a low-maintenance plant that thrives with minimal effort, making it an excellent choice for plant lovers of all skill levels.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth and flowering. While it can tolerate medium light, insufficient light may slow its growth and reduce the chances of blooming. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. As an epiphyte, the Hoya Mirabilis prefers slightly dry conditions over being waterlogged. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
• 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 65–85°F (18–29°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 that is rich in organic matter. A combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss works well to mimic its natural growing conditions as an epiphyte.
• Fertilizer: Feed your Hoya Mirabilis 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.
