3. Watering: Water your Hoya plant once every 14 days during spring and summer, ensuring the soil is dry before watering again.
4. Soil: Opt for a well-draining potting mix, and consider adding perlite or grit to improve drainage. Repot every three years to refresh the soil.
5. Temperature: Keep temperatures between 68 and 75°F for optimal growth, avoiding extremes that can cause dormancy or leaf damage.
6. Light Intensity: Aim for light intensities of 1500-2000 foot candles, providing bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day.
