Hoya Chelsea Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light, but flowering is encouraged by higher light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining mix, such as a combination of orchid bark, perlite, and a light potting soil. Avoid peat moss to prevent excessive moisture retention.

3. Watering:

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but be sure not to leave the plant in standing water, as this can cause root rot.

4. Humidity:

Hoya Chelsea enjoys moderate to high humidity. It can adapt to average indoor humidity but will thrive with a bit of added humidity from misting or a nearby humidifier.

5. Temperature:

Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

6. Fertilization:

Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. During winter, reduce feeding frequency.

7. Propagation:

Propagate by taking cuttings with at least two nodes and rooting in water or soil.

The Hoya Chelsea's charming, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant flowers make it an endearing choice for any indoor plant collection. With its easy-going nature, it’s a lovely option for both novice and experienced plant parents.
