@kris10nicolee they. grow. so. slowly. I have mine (a sad little stem (maybe it's time for a repot) that sits under a grow light near a west facing window. I let it dry a bit between waterings. I think I have trained Greg to have me water it once every 15 days.
OH MY WORD!! I have to take a picture!! I see new growth!! First time in over a YEAR!! And it's pink!
Oh my gosh!! I have new growth!! οΏΌοΏΌ

@HoyaAddict I've been seeing your posts about hoya and was hoping you'd pop on this post so i could pick your hoya-know-how brain π§
can you tell me how you personally water and how much sunlight i should give my Hoyas. I have this one and one more. and do all Hoyas grow slow.
@sarahsalith your more than welcome allowed to chime in lol

@HoyaAddict if I was to make it an outside plant. I don't understand the whole "northeast west southwest" window talk
@kris10nicolee Aww thanks for wanting my opinion, I hope it helps! Seeing as you have a variegated one outside would be amazing! I would place her in any spot outside so long as she doesnβt get direct sunlight after 10/11 am. (She can have direct light also in the afternoon instead say after 5pm) If you want to keep her inside, I like to hang mine in front on all my windows haha, I wouldnβt worry too much what window so long as sheβs not getting cooked in direct sun (again during those 12-4pm scorching hot hours)π. Hindu rope are notoriously slow growers π₯² but when they kick off fully there will be no stopping her! Generally I like to touch my Hoya π when theyβre feeling soft/bendy/flexible or even look a little wrinkly I know theyβre thirsty! If itβs spring/summer time or are flowering theyβll definitely be up for more watering. A cool way to know when to water a Hoya (when theyβre small) is to weight the pot on scales when itβs dry, then give a good water and weight. Note these weights and if your ever unsure about when to water, pop it on the scales and see how dry it really is. I check the soil too with my finger (just to make sure sheβs not thirsty due to rot haha) As for how much, generally I donβt give much, about 80-100ml for a large plant. The water runs through the soil pretty quickly haha, itβs very airy mix. Hoya are epiphytes like Orchids, they would prefer a little water often with lots of dry air time in between. If youβre scared about overwatering, you could look into getting an orchid pot for it. They have long slits up the side of the pot to allow more air inside. (Your Hoya will love you for it haha)
Not all Hoya grow slowly! My pubicalyx is a monster π never ever stops. I have discovered than fungii grows quickly too. (Kept growing immediately after postal delivery!) My potsii/nicholsonii and my merrilii are lazy babies and have shown me not growth at all yet π I guess thatβs half the fun of hoyas, figuring out how different they all really are! I have eyes on a krimson queen now hehe, hope to get one soon!(so long as I stop buying aroids haha) I canβt wait to see updates this is such a BEAUTIFUL HOYA
