Hoya Fungi

Hoya fungii is a semi-succulent plant that has dark green velvety leaves and flowers that bloom twice a year. They are very easy to keep as regular houseplants and are also known as wax plants due to their leaf texture. Care for Hoya fungii by keeping it under indirect bright light and watering it when the top one or two inches of the soil have become dry. In addition, these plants will need loose, well-draining soil, high humidity levels and very good air circulation in order to thrive and be happy in your care. Light: This plant needs bright indirect light at all times. It is also sensitive to being moved around too much. Choose a good enough spot inside the house for them and then keep them at that spot without any interruption. Which Window Is Best for Hoya?

Eastern and western-facing windows are the best for growing Hoya fungii plants. These windows let in only moderately intense sunlight during some parts of the morning and the evening. For the remainder of the day, only indirect light enters through these windows, which is just perfect for these plants.

If this plant is being kept in a room with a southern-facing window, then keep it away from the window so that direct light doesn’t fall on it. This window lets in the harsh afternoon sunlight that can permanently damage your plant. The farther you keep this plant from the window, the better.

Soil: Hoya fungii plants are epiphytes in nature. This means they grow on top of other trees. That is why you should plant them in soil that is loose, well-draining and coarse.

Such soil will allow the roots of your plant to grow unimpeded like in nature. It also allows all the excess water to simply flow off.

Make the best soil for your Hoya plant by mixing potting mix, orchid bark and perlite in an equal ratio.

Water: This plant needs water when the topsoil becomes dry, but never overwater it as it is also a semi-succulent. Find out more about its water requirements below. Watering Needs

The Hoya fungii plant needs moist soil at all times during the warm summer months when it is actively growing, so watering every other day is possible.

At the same time, it has short roots that make it highly susceptible to the dangers of overwatering.

You should not allow the soil of this plant to dry more than 50 percent. However, unless the top 2 inches of the soil is dry, don’t water the plant again.

Temperature: The ideal temperature range for growing Hoya fungii plants is between 13 to 27 degrees Celsius. Lower Temperature for Flowering

Although this plant likes to grow under warm conditions, the Hoya fungii flower will not bloom unless the plant has been subjected to a slightly lower temperature.

This plant always blooms during early spring and fall when temperatures drop slightly enough for them to produce flowers.

Hoya fungii are not frost-resistant plants at all. Temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius are completely intolerable to them.

When left in the cold for long, they will suffer from stunted growth and will produce fewer leaves and almost no flowers in the
