Care Guide
Light
Prefers bright indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sun can encourage stronger growth and flowering.
Watering
Allow the top portion of the soil to dry between waterings. Hoyas prefer to dry slightly rather than remain constantly wet.
Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 28°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C.
Humidity
Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to typical household conditions.
Soil
Use a chunky, well-draining Hoya mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and houseplant compost.
Feeding
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth and flowering.
Flowers
One of the highlights of Hoya lacunosa ‘Asami’ is its clusters of delicate, fuzzy flowers. The blooms are typically creamy white and produce a sweet, pleasant fragrance that becomes more noticeable during the evening hours.
Avoid removing old flower spurs, as future blooms will develop from the same points.
