Hoya Flavida

Easy-care Hoya with fleshy leaves and tropical charm.
Difficulty
Forgivable
Light
Bright indirect light
Watering
Let it dry well between waterings
Humidity

Medium to high humidity (50–70%)

Tolerates average indoor humidity, but higher levels encourage growth and blooming.

Crazy Plant Lady Tip:

Dry air = fewer blooms… and a Hoya without flowers is like dessert without sugar 😏🌸

Pets
Pet safe
Substrate

Very airy, ultra well-draining mix

Use a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark to prevent roots from staying wet too long.

📌 Example:

40% potting soil + 30% perlite + 30% bark

Crazy Plant Lady Tip:

Hoyas like to dry out between waterings — too much water and they’ll sulk 😬🌿

Tip
Likes to be a bit cramped and hates excess water.
