Herein, do Hoya plants like direct sunlight?Creating the Right Environment. Place your Hoya plant in bright, indirect sunlight. While Hoya plants need a lot of sunlight to thrive, direct sunlight can cause them to bleach or dry out. As a result, try to place your Hoya so it gets about 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day.Furthermore, what should I feed my hoya plant? Fertilizer – Like most of the plants that we have in our homes, the Hoya likes to be fed with fertilizer. Use liquid fertilizer to feed your Hoyas about once a month during the growing season. Once cold weather comes along, make sure to cut back on the fertilizer. Also asked, do Hoyas like humidity? Humidity + temperature: Hoya carnosa THRIVES in humidity. Other conditions like lighting and water can be less than ideal if the Hoya has high humidity that mimics their natural habitat. For this reason, Hoyas make wonderful bathroom plants if you have the right lighting!Do Hoyas like to be misted?Some like to mist the leaves frequently. For cleaning the leaves and increasing humidity, misting is fine… but NOT when the plant is budding or in flower. Lack of water or too much fertilizer will cause foliage to brown around the edges and perhaps leaves will drop. As with most plants, Hoyas respond to good care.
