Hoya Erythrina

Hoya Erythrina – Rooted cutting

Growing Medium – Moss

Care Tips:

Light: Bright
Water: 2 Weeks
Humidity: Normal
Pet Friendly: Yes

Hoya erythrina thrives in bright indirect light. However, you can grow them in medium light too. Bright indirect light will encourage the plant to get sun-stressed. Please let the soil get 100% dry between watering. The watering is about once every 2 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.
