Hoya DS70 Variegated Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant variegation. It can tolerate lower light but may grow more slowly. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend with added orchid bark and perlite for aeration. Avoid peat moss to ensure good drainage.

3. Watering:

Water when the top two thirds of the soil feels dry. Hoyas prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows.

4. Humidity:

Thrives in moderate to high humidity, ideally above 50%. Misting occasionally or placing it near a humidifier can support its growth, especially in drier environments.

5. Temperature:

Grows best in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

6. Fertilization:

Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

7. Propagation:

Propagate by stem cuttings with at least one node. Place cuttings in water or directly in soil in a warm, humid area to encourage root development.
