Hoya bella ‘Lida Buis’ requires a very well-draining and aerated substrate. An ideal mix contains pine bark (40%), perlite (30%) and peat or coco coir (30%). The substrate must allow the roots to breathe and not retain excess water, as the epiphytic roots of this species are sensitive to rot.

The flowers are small, white with a pink-purple centre, clustered in fragrant umbels. To encourage blooming, provide bright indirect light and a winter rest period with reduced watering.
How do I propagate Hoya bella 'Lida Buis'?
Hoya bella ‘Lida Buis’ is most easily propagated by stem cuttings. Cut a stem section of 8–12 cm with at least 2–3 nodes and a few leaves.
