Location

Keep the plant in a bright shade with morning sunlight. Protect the plant from direct sunlight and afternoon sun.

Soil

Add a fistful of perlite to the garden center-bought regular potting mix.  Add peat, compost, and lots of organic matter to the soil for good growth.

Water

Water when soil is 80-90 percent dry or once the foliage loses luster. Avoid over-watering.

Humidity

Do remember this plant appreciates humidity.

Fertilizer

Hoya lyi doesn’t need any fertilizer; fresh potting mix includes required nutrients, and when revived every year, you won’t need to feed the plant.

Repotting

You can repot hoya Lyi once in a year or when it outgrows the pot.

Pruning

Do not remove the peduncles or flower stalks, as hoya lyi can flower again from the same stem again and again. Cut any yellow or damaged foliage and stem regularly.
