Can I use succulent soil for Hoyas?
Hoyas are versatile, popular house plants capable of growing in a variety of types of soil. Some grow their Hoyas with great success using a bagged African Violet soil. Others grow beautiful Hoya specimens in well-draining succulent soil, and some swear by their homemade organic potting soil mix.
How do I prepare soil for Hoya?
Soil and Repotting
Potting soil with good air circulation is very important for Hoya. To create a perfect blend mix equal parts of Espoma's organic Cactus Mix, Orchid Mix, and Perlite. Hoya like to be pot-bound or crowded in their pots. They will only need to be repotted every two or three years.
Should I water my hoya after repotting?
After Care:
I let the plants settle into their new mix for 2-3 days before watering. I placed them in the spots they had been growing in – bright light but no direct sun. I water my hoyas once a week here in the desert in the hot, sunny weather. In the winter I water these tropical beauties every 2-3 weeks.
