🌫️HumidityMedium–High
🌡️Temp18–29 °C
🪴SoilChunky bark + perlite mix
A showstopper with dramatically veined leaves in dark green over pale chartreuse. This slow-growing hoya thrives when slightly root-bound and rewards patience with waxy, porcelain-like blooms. Maison Tip: Allow the top 50% of soil to dry before watering. Hoyas prefer to be slightly thirsty over soggy — never let them sit in standing water.
