Care Essentials
Get to Know Your Hoya Publicalyx
The #1 killer? Overwatering. Let the soil dry between waterings and your Hoya Publicalyx will thrive.
Light
medium to bright indirect
Most comfortable in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.
💡 Grow lights: Thrives under artificial grow lights (LED or fluorescent, 10-12 hours/day). A great option if your space lacks natural light.
Watering
every 10-14 days
Let the soil dry out significantly between waterings — this plant is very sensitive to overwatering. When in doubt, wait another day.
Humidity & Temperature
Not fussy about humidity. Handles average indoor conditions without issue.
Standard room temperature (60-80°F / 15-27°C) is perfect. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature swings.
Soil
Standard well-draining potting mix works well. Add perlite for extra drainage if you tend to overwater.
