Care:

Hoya Crassipetiolata is easy to grow and resistant to pests and diseases. It can withstand a lot of neglect, but in order not to expose it to unnecessary stress, it is worth ensuring appropriate growing conditions. It prefers a position with plenty of diffused light. It is very susceptible to scorching, so it is not recommended to place it in direct sunlight. It feels best at temperatures of 15 °C to 25 °C and high air humidity. He likes sprinkling. Hoja does not tolerate excess and stagnant 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 out between waterings. In winter, we water sparingly to prevent the leaves from wilting. During the growing season, the hoya is fed once a week with fertilizer for flowering plants or orchids, using half the recommended dose. Hoya is sensitive to change of place. It should not be moved, especially before and during flowering, as it may cause the flowers and buds to fall.

The plant is sold in a pot with a diameter of 21cm. Plant height measured with the pot is approx. 90 – 100 cm
