Soil: Well-draining, chunky orchid bark or perlite-heavy mix.

Temp: Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F.

Humidity: High humidity (60%+) is preferred but can adapt to average home levels.

Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season.

About This Plant

Hoya latifolia is native to Southeast Asia and is known for its relatively fast growth once established. Its thick, waxy leaves are not only beautiful but also efficient at storing water. When mature, it produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that release a sweet scent in the evening.

Tips

Avoid overwatering, as Hoyas are prone to root rot. Trellising this plant will encourage larger leaf growth. For more tips follow us on Instagram @hiddenseedco
