Care Tips for Hoya Latifolia ‘Pot of Gold’:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Higher light levels help maintain strong variegation, but avoid harsh direct sun which may scorch the leaves.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Overwatering is the most common issue—Hoyas prefer slightly drier conditions.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor environments.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–30°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix such as orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to promote healthy roots.
Feeding: Fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced or Hoya-specific fertilizer.
Hoya Latifolia ‘Pot of Gold’ combines dramatic variegated foliage with classic Hoya durability, making it an exceptional statement plant for shelves, trellises, and hanging planters. Its golden tones and sculptural leaves bring warmth and elegance to any indoor plant collection.
