Hoya soligamiana is a captivating Hoya known for its delicate, star-shaped flowers and attractive foliage. This plant, native to the Philippines, is perfect for indoor cultivation due to its relatively low maintenance needs and beautiful blooms. Its flowers, which are typically white with a hint of pink, add an exotic touch to any indoor plant collection.

Native to: Hoya soligamiana is native to the Philippines, where it grows in the humid, tropical forests. It thrives as an epiphyte, often found clinging to trees and other plants in its natural habitat.

Water: Water your plant thoroughly, allowing the top 2 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. This plant is susceptible to root rot, so it’s essential to ensure good drainage. In more humid indoor environments, such as terrariums, reduce the frequency of watering to prevent waterlogging.

Light: Hoya prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage its leaves, so place it in a spot where it receives filtered light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, optimal growth and flowering occur in bright, indirect light.

Humidity: Hoya thrives in high humidity levels between 60% and 80%. Use a humidifier or a pebble tray with water to maintain the necessary moisture levels, especially in drier indoor environments. This plant is an excellent candidate for a terrarium, where the natural humidity will support its growth.

Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18°C to 24°C for optimal growth. The plant is sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below 15°C. Providing a warm, stable environment similar to its native tropical habitat will encourage healthy growth and blooming.
