Hoya Retusa Care

Light

Hoya Retusa thrive in medium to bright, indirect sunlight. Be aware that they are not suited to low light or direct sunlight - which may scorch their leaves. They love the heat of the sun more than anything.

Read our COMPLETE guide on the best LED lights for indoor plants. Give your plants the boost they want with proper lighting.

Water

We recommend allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. Wait until the hoya leaves pucker slightly before watering again. All hoyas should be potted in planters with drainage. They are sensitive to too much water, so use a well draining soil with plenty of pumice or perlite

Humidity

Average house humidity is great for hoya's. They love a mist, or a humid bathroom from time to time.
