Hoya mindorensis Ø6cm

Hoya mindorensis - Philippine hoya with impressive umbels of 30-50 red-burgundy star flowers with yellow corona. Vigorous vine. Care instructions Hoya mindorensis has moderate water needs. Rule: water when 70-80% of the substrate has dried . In summer, this means every 5-8 days; in winter, every 10-16 days. Frequency varies with temperature, humidity, ventilation, and pot type. Use lukewarm water (20-24°C), filtered or left to decant. Water thoroughly until excess drains through the holes, then drain it away after a few minutes. Never let the plant sit in stagnant water - this is the most common cause of Hoya death. Ideal ambient humidity is 60-80%. During winter when central heating reduces humidity below 40%, use a humidifier, a pebble tray, or group with other tropical plants. Direct misting of the leaves is not recommended for this species, as it can leave calcium spots. Fertilize during the growing season (March-October) with a balanced liquid fertilizer (NPK 10-10-10 or 3-1-2), diluted to half strength, every 3-4 weeks. Before flowering, a higher-phosphorus fertilizer (NPK 10-30-20) can help stimulate bud formation. In winter, stop fertilizing. Stress signs: soft, wrinkled leaves (thirst); yellow, mushy leaves (overwatering); brown tips (hard water or dry air); stretched internodes (insufficient light). Adjust care based on symptoms.
