Hoya australis needs bright, indirect light, and should be planted in a loose, well-draining potting mix. Water once the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, provide humidity of at least 40%, maintain temperatures of 65-80°F (18-26°C), and fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

Recommended care instructions - 

  • Light - Hoyas thrive best when they get bright, non-direct sunlight.
  • Soil - A well-draining, lightweight soil mix is what hoyas should be planted in. Too much moisture and the roots will rot.
  • Water - Hoyas should be watered weekly, and left to let dry completely between waterings.
  • Temperature and humidity - As a tropical plant, hoyas thrive in warm and moist, humid climates.
  • Fertiliser - Hoyas should be fertilised monthly; The International Hoya Association suggests feeding them with a fertiliser that includes nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
