Hoya gracilis

Advice

• Light: Locate in bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Watering: Water moderately when the substrate is dry to the touch. Make sure the water drains well to avoid root rot.
• Substrate: Use a well-drained substrate, such as an orchid or succulent mix.
• Humidity: Although it adapts to different humidity levels, it prefers slightly humid environments. Spray its leaves occasionally in dry climates.
• Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, dilute fertiliser once a month during spring and summer.
• Pruning: Cut back long or damaged stems to encourage dense, healthy growth.
• Support: Provide a climbing support, such as a trellis or similar structure, to help guide its growth.
• Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal and pest problems.

Signs of weakness

• Yellowing Leaves: Indicates over-watering or poor drainage.
• Withered or drooping leaves: May be the result of lack of watering or direct sun exposure.
• Slow or Stagnant Growth: Indicates lack of nutrients or insufficient light.
• Brown Leaf Tips: Could be a sign of low humidity or exposure to cold drafts.
• Mildew in the substrate: Sign of overwatering and poor ventilation.
