Water Hoya Gayo using the “soak and dry” method: saturate the substrate and wait for the top 3–5 cm to dry completely. In summer, every 7–10 days; in winter, every 14–21 days. Overwatering causes root rot.
No, Hoya Gayo is non-toxic according to the ASPCA. The Hoya genus is classified as safe for dogs and cats. The milky sap may cause mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
Flowering occurs in spring and summer on mature plants of 2–3 years. A winter cooling period (15–18°C, 4–6 weeks) stimulates flower bud formation. The flowers have an intensely sweet floral fragrance.
An airy mix of 40% pine bark (1–2 cm), 30% perlite, 20% coir and 10% horticultural charcoal. Alternatively, an orchid mix with extra perlite. Optimal pH: 5.5–6.5.
Bright indirect light (10,000–25,000 lux). East/west windows are ideal. Avoid direct summer sun between 11–15. Too little light (below 3,000 lux) reduces flowering chances.
