Requirements:

Hoya Australis ‘Lisa’ requires a position with a lot of bright diffused light, or a semi-shaded place. Avoid a position with direct sunlight. It grows very well at room temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C and high humidity. He likes sprinkling. Hoya does not tolerate excess and stagnation of water, so the pot should have a lot of drainage holes, and the substrate must be permeable and well drained. A suitable substrate is a universal substrate. In summer, hoya is watered abundantly and regularly, but the substrate must dry between waterings. In winter, water sparingly so as not to let the leaves droop. During the growing season, hoya is fed once a week with fertilizer for flowering plants or orchids, using half the recommended dose. It should not be moved, especially before and during flowering, as this may cause the flowers and buds to drop.

The plant is sold in a pot with a diameter of 12 cm. Plant height measured with the pot is approx. 20-30 cm.
