Hoya plants prefer bright indirect light, moderate watering (allow the soil to dry between waterings) and temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Provide well-draining substrate and higher humidity for optimal growth.
Hoya typically blooms in spring and summer, producing waxy, fragrant flowers. Do not cut the peduncles after flowering, as the plant will bloom again from the same stalks.
Water your Hoya when the top layer of soil (2-3 cm) has dried completely. In summer, this usually means once a week, and in winter every 2-3 weeks. Avoid overwatering.
Hoya is generally considered non-toxic to dogs and cats. However, ingestion of any plant may cause mild gastric discomfort, so it is recommended to keep the plant away from pets.
Hoya can be propagated through stem cuttings with 2-3 nodes. Place the cuttings in water or moist substrate and wait 2-6 weeks for rooting. Higher humidity helps the process.
'Aff.' is abbreviation for 'affinis' in Latin = 'similar to'. Indicates the species is similar to Hoya burtoniae but may be a distinct species or unregistered variant.
DS-70 is the collection code given by botanists who discovered it, used for traceability before official scientific registration of the species.
Bright indirect light, humidity 60-80%, temperatures 20-28°C, airy substrate. Moderate watering when substrate is nearly dry.
No, Hoya 'DS-70' is not toxic to cats, dogs or children. Apocynaceae is safe.
Stem cuttings with 2-3 nodes in moist sphagnum moss or water. Roots appear in 3-5 weeks at 22-26°C.
