Feeding
Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy foliage and blooms. Avoid fertilizing in winter.
Repotting
Repot every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Hoyas prefer being slightly root-bound, which can promote flowering. Prune as needed to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.

Help your plant settle in
A little travel stress is normal. Keep the first few days simple.
Unpack gently
Remove the natural wood strands from the soil surface. They kept soil in place during shipping.
Check before watering
Feel the soil first and follow the plant-specific watering cue above. Do not water only because it arrived.
Let it rest
Place it in the recommended light and keep it away from heating vents, cold drafts and harsh direct sun.
Keep its nursery pot
If you chose an upgraded pot, leave the plant in its nursery pot inside it. Decorative moss may stay or be removed.
