CARE GUIDE

How to keep Hoya Crassipetiolata.

Light

Hoya crassipetiolata originates from places like forest undergrowth or craggy terrains, where it receives natural shade. It favors semi-sunny conditions, yet it is able to acclimatize to either total sun or complete shade, showing its adaptable and robust characteristics.

Temperature

Hoya crassipetiolata is native to tropical areas where the weather is consistently hot and moist. Therefore, it has evolved to thrive in high heat and humidity. It doesn't handle abrupt shifts in temperature well and favors a steady thermal setting, making it crucial to prevent indoor temperature swings. It generally does not withstand chilly conditions and needs elevated temperatures to grow. A significant drop in surrounding temperature may lead to stunted growth or even the death of the plant.

Fertilizer

Fertilization plays an essential role in the health and aesthetic of Hoya crassipetiolata. It should be fertilized in the summer and this should be repeated on a monthly basis throughout the season. Nutrients are critical for growth and the maintenance of plant parts. Fertilization improves Hoya crassipetiolata's floral display, guaranteeing the most beautiful blossoms.

Pot & Repot

During the repotting of Hoya crassipetiolata, opt for a container that is 1-2 inches (2.5–5 cm) bigger and has sufficient drainage. Utilize a potting mix that drains well. Repotting should take place in spring or fall, with the root ball positioned a little below the edge of the flower pot. After repotting, fully hydrate the plant and locate it in warm area where it will receive indirect light.
