As with many tropical plants, Hoya care requires consideration of their natural habitat. Drainage basins can be found in most known to man terrestrial habitats. Most Hoyas inhabit tropical regions, and enjoy warm, humid conditions during most of the year. For example, many Hoyas originate in Indonesia, which has a tropical climate with annual average temperatures ranging between 30 degrees Celsius. However, tropical regions also show differences in climate, it decreases as the interior and continues to receive in the highlands. It is much colder from June to September, when the northeast monsoon arrives.
Many Hoyas are epiphytes and share their houses, or their
homes, other tropical plants. You put in the treetops, branches entwined
around, clinging to bark roots. Their only food is decaying matter that is in
the column, washed through their roots drain water off.These observations give
an idea of the life of tropical Hoya in their natural habitat. Remember Hoyas
They inhabit a diverse range of habitats and grow in many different ways.
However, these observations apply to the majority of Hoya species in tropical
regions. Can these conditions by providing a few simple steps.
These plants will benefit from excellent drainage benefit. I
use a 50/50 mixture of compost and perlite. This gives the roots aerated
optimal conditions they need and prevent waterlogging, one of the few ways to
kill many Hoya. Hoya forest canopies in partially shaded place live - do not
let it sit on a windowsill burning. Direct sunlight in small doses can be
beneficial, but it whiten direct sunlight the leaves and damage your system. This
also applies to most tropical plants. Hoya australis 'Lisa' enjoys some strong
light. New leaves are tinged with red in bright light, it returns to its
different shape.
If your soil mix is well drained, you should have no
problem with irrigation. Water when the soil almost completely dry, and you're
all the air to the roots. An epiphyte is only enough water to pass, but not so
much that they become filled with water. To create conditions for new canopy, I
shit every few days. This also allows me feeder, which I do, I apply about 4
times in the growing season, and every time a flowering plant.
Hoya should not be exposed to temperatures below 10 degrees
Celsius for long. If during the winter in a cool, please make sure they are
very dry.
Remember that most of the Hoya are tropical plants and
although many are difficult, some have a demanding nature.
