Care at a glance
- Water
- Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil is dry, allowing excess to drain. Reduce watering in winter as growth slows.
- Light
- Provide bright, indirect light; a south or west-facing window with some sheer curtain is ideal. Avoid direct, intense sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Humidity
- Prefers average to high humidity, around 50-70%.
- Temperature
- Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
- Soil
- Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix, such as an orchid or succulent blend.
- Fertilizer
- Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Toxicity
- Hoya kerrii is generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans, though ingestion may cause mild digestive upset.
- Propagation
- Propagate easily from stem cuttings; take a cutting with at least one node and a leaf, then root in water or moist soil.
