• Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, especially in the afternoon.

• Watering – Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

• Humidity – Hoya Callistophylla can handle average household humidity but prefers slightly higher levels. Misting or placing a tray of water nearby can help.

• Soil – Use a well-draining potting mix, like one containing peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark. Good drainage is essential.

• Pruning – Prune occasionally to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim long vines and remove any yellowing leaves.

• Fertilizer – Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. Reduce or stop during winter.

• Support – Being a vining plant, Hoya Callistophylla benefits from a trellis or support for climbing. Guide its vines as they grow.
