A bright windowsill or shelf is ideal. Avoid low light, as this can reduce colour and slow growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"749\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"468\"\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Hoyas are semi-succulent and store water in their leaves, so they prefer to be slightly underwatered rather than overwatered. Water less frequently in winter. Happy in average humidity but will benefit from slightly higher levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"767\"\u003eHome impact:\u003c\/strong\u003e With its pink, cream, and green variegated leaves, this plant adds soft colour and interest to shelves or hanging displays. Mature plants may produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Generally considered mildly toxic, so best kept out of reach of pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1158\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1073\"\u003ePotential height at full growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing stems can reach 1–2 metres indoors over time, depending on conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1506\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1185\"\u003eHow to look after it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place in bright light and use a well-draining compost, such as a mix with added perlite or bark. Water only when the soil has dried out. Feed monthly during spring and summer. Hoyas prefer to be slightly rootbound, so repot infrequently. Avoid removing old flower spurs, as new blooms often grow from the same spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1543\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003eBeginner friendliness 4\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1560\"\u003eEasy Going!\u003c\/strong\u003e A low-maintenance and rewarding plant that’s quite forgiving, especially for those who tend to underwater rather than overwater.
