Care Guide:
Light: The Hoya Krohniana thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves. Providing it with the right balance of light will encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Water the Hoya Krohniana when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious not to overwater, as Hoyas are susceptible to root rot. Remember, it's better to underwater than to overwater this plant.
Temperature: Keep the Hoya Krohniana in an environment where temperatures range between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations or drafts, which can cause stress to the plant. Maintaining a stable and comfortable temperature will promote optimal growth.
Humidity: This Hoya variety prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Mist the leaves regularly or place a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the plant to increase humidity. Alternatively, use a humidifier in the room to create a suitable environment for the Hoya Krohniana.
Soil: Plant your Hoya Krohniana in a well-draining soil mix. A combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well. This mixture allows for proper drainage while retaining enough moisture for the plant's needs. Hoyas are epiphytic plants, so good aeration is essential.
Fertilizer: Feed your Hoya Krohniana with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period (fall and winter). Fertilizing will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and flowering.
Pruning: Prune the Hoya Krohniana to maintain its shape and promote bushier growth. Trim back any excessive growth or leggy vines using clean pruning shears. Pruning also encourages the plant to produce more flower clusters, enhancing its beauty.
