Recommended care instructions - 

• Light - Provide mainly bright, indirect light. A few hours of early morning or late afternoon sunshine can help improve the chance of blooming.

• Water - Water once the top few inches of soil dries out. Can tolerate drought, but won’t tolerate overwatering.

• Soil - Naturally epiphytic, so demands a loose, well-draining potting mix. I prefer to use equal parts coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark, with about 10% worm castings to improve soil fertility

• Temperature - Does best in temperatures of 65 – 80°F (18 – 26°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 45°F (7°C).

• Humidity - Keep humidity above 40%. More tolerant to lower humidity than some Hoyas.

• Flowering - Produces exquisite bloom in three-inch wide clusters containing dozens of small, white, star-shaped flowers with pink or red centers. Most likely to bloom in late summer/autumn

• Repotting - Only needs repotting once significantly rootbound. Only increase pot size by 1-2 inches.

• Propagation - Stem cuttings can easily be propagated in soil or water. Propagate in spring or early summer for best results.
