Instructions for planting your cuttings

Growing from a cutting is a very easy. Use a cutting with two or three leaf nodes.

Remove the leaves from the bottom node. Dust the end with a rooting hormone powder (any garden shop will have this).

Bury in a good potting mixture. I prefer a mix of perlite vermiculite and sphagnum peat moss.

Water thoroughly and let the soil dry out before watering again.

I get so many questions about why my Hoya plant is not blooming.

Hoya plants need bright indirect sunlight. In a brightly lit window or under and overhang on the house.

Hoya plants like to completely dry out between watering.

With the right light, temperature and watering, your Hoya plants should thrive and give you the beautiful blooms you expect.

INSECTS
Hoya plants are susceptible to mealy bugs, and certain varieties to spider mites. Treat both by spraying with an insecticidal soap.

LIGHTING
Hoyas like bright indirect sunlight. I have great success growing them in a northern exposure. However they can be grown indoors in a brightly lit window. You might have to reposition your hoya until it finds its perfect spot.

HUMIDITY
They will tolerate low levels with no harm

WATERING
Hoya plants like to completely dry out between watering. When watering saturate the pot thoroughly until some water drains out of the bottom. DO NOT water again until they completely dry out.

FERTILIZE
Hoyas are light feeders. Fertilize once a month with a balanced fertilizer such as 15-15-15. When growing stops in the winter discontinue feeding.

PRUNING
Prune anytime growth is excessive, or after the flowering cycle is complete. They bloom on new growth, so be careful.
