Care & Display Tips
Bring this Hoyas charm into spaces that benefit from living decor with little effort. Water only when the top inch of soil dries, and ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent soggy roots. Place in bright, indirect light for best variegation and growth, and use a light, well-draining potting mix. The Mauna Loa Hoyas are tolerant of typical indoor humidity levels but will reward you with healthier growth with occasional light misting. With its flexible vines, it’s easy to train along a trellis or let it cascade over a shelf or planter for a lush, eye-catching display.
