Hoya Wayetti Care and Growing Guide

Hoya Wayetii adds charm to any space with its striking variegated leaves and unique star-shaped flowers. Let’s have a look at how to maintain it at the best of its health!

The Hoya Wayetii is a popular houseplant known for its attractive foliage and stunning blooms. Native to the Philippines, this vine has become a staple in many American households for its minimal care requirements and aesthetic appeal.

This hoya variety grows well in bright, indirect light. Place it near an east-facing window for optimal sun exposure without direct rays. Avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves. If the light is too low, growth may slow.

Regularly rotate the plant to ensure even growth and prevent leaning towards the light source.

Hoya Wayetii prefers well-draining soil. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark in a ratio of 2:1:1 promotes healthy growth.

Ensure the soil pH ranges from 6.0 to 7.0. This blend allows proper water drainage, prevents root rot, and mimics the plant’s natural epiphytic habitat.

Water the plant moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry before watering. Inactive growth periods, like winter, require even less water.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, while too little water can stress the plant. Strike a balance to maintain soil moisture without waterlogging.

Maintain Hoya Wayetii in temperatures between 65 to 90°F (18 to 32°C) during the day and no lower than 50°F (10°C) at night.

It adapts to average household humidity but benefits from slightly higher levels, around 40-60%. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature changes, as they can stress the plant.

Prune Hoya Wayetii during the active growing season, which is typically in spring or early summer. This timing allows the plant to recover
