Care Tips:

Pet Friendly: Yes

Hoya carnosa compacta thrive in bright indirect light. You can also grow them in medium to low light too. However, the growth of the plant will be slower and will require less water. Please let the soil get 100% dry between watering. The watering is somewhere between 2 – 3 weeks as every house is different in terms of heat, humidity, and light. It is highly recommended to use room temperature water to water your plants as we do not want to shock the roots with hot or cold water. Hoyas are tropical plants and love high humidity. A regular misting will make the plant very happy and healthy. However, you can also grow them in room humidity without any issue.
