Growing Information
Hoya pubicalyx thrives in bright indirect light and can tolerate some direct morning sun. It prefers a well-draining, airy potting mix composed of orchid bark, perlite, and peat. Watering should be moderate, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. This plant grows at a moderate to fast rate and benefits from support to climb if desired. Fertilize during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
