Hoya Rosita Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sun, too much can scorch the leaves.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix such as one formulated for succulents or cacti, ideally with added orchid bark and perlite for extra drainage.

3. Watering:

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water deeply but infrequently, ensuring the plant is not sitting in water to avoid root rot.

4. Humidity:

Enjoys higher humidity levels but can tolerate average household humidity. Consider using a humidity tray or misting occasionally during dry months.

5. Temperature:

Prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C - 27°C). Avoid placing it in a drafty area or near cold windows, as it can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

6. Fertilization:

Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the winter when the plant is dormant.

7. Propagation:

Propagate via stem cuttings. Ensure the cutting has at least one node and place it in water or a well-draining soil mix until roots develop.

8. Pests & Diseases:

Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract aphids or mealybugs. Regularly check the plant and treat pests promptly if noticed.
