Hoya endauensis Ø7cm

Hoya endauensis is a sought-after rarity from Johor, Malaysia, with small, wavy-edged leaves and fragrant yellow-orange flowers crowned in reddish-pink. A wonderful choice for any plant lover, it looks stunning cascading from hanging pots or trained on supports. Care instructions Light : prefers bright indirect light (near a bright window, but without direct midday sun). It tolerates medium light, but in lower light conditions it blooms more slowly. Direct strong sun can cause burns on the leaves, especially on the edges. Temperature : ideal between 20-28°C. It feels good in warm and stable conditions; in its natural habitat the temperatures are high, so it does not appreciate cold or sudden variations. Avoid temperatures below 12-14°C. Humidity : It likes moderate to high atmospheric humidity (around 60-80%). In homes with very dry air, a humidifier or a tray of wet gravel under the pot is useful (without letting the bottom of the pot sit in water). Watering : water moderately, letting the top layer of the substrate dry out between waterings. The roots do not tolerate water stagnation; it is safer to water a little and often than a lot and rarely. In winter, when growth slows down, watering frequency is reduced. Substrate : it needs a very aerated and well-drained mixture, such as: coniferous bark, perlite/pumice and a fraction of peat or wood fiber coconut. An orchid substrate, slightly enriched with peat and perlite, is usually suitable for this species. Fertilization : During the growing season (spring to early fall), a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants or hoya can be used, in a reduced dose (1/4 to 1/2 of the recommended dose), once a week. every 3-4 weeks. In winter, do not fertilize or fertilize very rarely. Transplanting and support : prefers tight pots rather than very voluminous ones. Transplant only when the roots have completely filled the pot. The shoots can be easily pinched onto a support, without to force the curves or bends to avoid breaking them. Flowering : to stimulate flowering, good light, slight differences between day and night temperatures, moderate fertilization and stability (do not move the pot often when it has buds). Flower stalks should not be cut after the stems have wilted, as the plant can reuse them for future flowering.
