Hoya latifolia is an easy and graceful plant in home cultivation, it does not require special cultivation procedures in the apartment. Prefers a warm position, develops best at temperatures above 20 ° C. She will certainly feel great in the vicinity of the eastern window, where the sun appears only for a few hours in the morning. Avoid a place with direct sunlight. Like most hoya, it likes high humidity and spraying the leaves. Fertilize the plant with fertilizer for flowering plants.

Hoya tolerates drought quite well, but you should not let the substrate dry out completely. However, it is very sensitive to water stagnation and overflow, 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. It grows best on supports or hanging down.
