I've recently started caring for a Hoya Carnosa and I'm looking for some advice on how to best promote its growth and flowering. I've heard they can be quite resilient, but I'd like to maximize their health and potential.
Light Requirements: What kind of lighting is best for Hoya Carnosa? I’ve read conflicting information online about whether they prefer bright, indirect light or can tolerate periods of direct sunlight.
Watering Schedule: How often should I water this plant? I know overwatering is a common issue, and I want to avoid root rot. Is there a general rule-of-thumb for when to water?
Soil Type: What type of soil mix should I use? I’ve seen suggestions ranging from cactus mixes to general indoor plant soil. Does anyone have a mix they swear by for Hoyas?
Humidity and Temperature: What are the ideal conditions in terms of humidity and temperature? Would a typical indoor environment suffice, or are there specific adjustments needed?
Fertilizing: How frequently should I fertilize, and is there a specific type of fertilizer that works best for promoting blooms?
Pruning and Repotting: When is the best time to prune or repot my Hoya Carnosa, and what signs indicate it's necessary?
Any tips or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
