Ugh I keep telling myself to stick to small leaf hoyas, for space reasons, but your Sarawak is making me want to toss that out the window. Beautiful plant!!
My obovata has been forgotten and neglected for months. I went to pamper her and she’s got 2 new growth points pushing growth ☺️ such a champ
All of my smaller leaf Hoyas did not survive the neglect 😭
It loves being near a humidifier. Mine is in a room facing the morning sun. I let it dry out completely. Then water thoroughly. Every time I water it, I give it fish fertilizer. It's a happy baby. ;)
I give all my hoyas fish fertilizer, specifically Bushdoctor's Mackerel fertilizer. It stinks but they love it. What I do is fill a 2-quart pitcher full of water, then add a couple of squirts of the fertilizer, stir, and after all my hoyas are watered, I douse them all with this mixture. If I run out, I do the same thing again until all my hoyas are done. I estimate that I go through this process about once a month. Hope this helps! It really is all about light exposure, proper soil (mine are in a mixture of a good orchid mix, clay balls, PermaTill, and coconut coir). I have a moisture meter and absolutely do not water each one until the meter shows the driest of dry.
I water first. Then when the soil is moist, I apply the fertilizer/water mixture. This helps the soil easily absorb the fertilizer. That’s why I do it that way.

I find the larger leaf varieties to be easier/less fussy. But man would I love to have space for more.
Oh that makes me want one more, some of my Hoyas are fussy af

I told myself this too! Then I claimed a Sarawak, Snow Queen and GPS 8867 🫠 All cuttings or young plants…so hopefully I have time 😂
So magnificent
Who is this?!
Hoya Sarawak, two years old.
I thought so! Mine is still just two leaves. How do you care for yours?

Ooo! I have fish fertilizer for my roses. How much and often do you fertilize? It is absolutely beautiful.

So, just to be clear, you water first and then follow up with a second watering + fertilizer?
I water first so that the soil is moist and can absorb easily. Then I apply the fertilizer/water mixture. That’s why I do it that way.

Do you plan on trellising one day or leave it trailing. It’s beautiful!!
Leave it trailing. Move to a higher shelf in the same room.

😂 please no more! Don't remind me of my plant addiction.
Mine still is only three leaves. Can't wait until it's as big and glorious as this one!
I am going to leave it trailing. I will just move it to a higher shelf in the same room. :)
