🌿 Hoya Kastbergii Care Guide

The Hoya kastbergii is a refined beauty — known for its thick, velvety leaves with delicate venation and soft, silver-green tones. Slow-growing but endlessly rewarding, it’s a collector’s favourite that brings calm sophistication and natural texture to any space.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to bring out its soft leaf texture

• Can tolerate some gentle morning sun

• Avoid harsh afternoon light, which can scorch the leaves

💧 Water

• Water when the top half of the soil feels dry

• Prefers to dry slightly between waterings — never keep it soggy

• Use a chunky, airy mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) for strong, healthy roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%)

• Adapts well to normal indoor air, but thrives with occasional misting

• Avoid constant wet leaves — this Hoya likes airflow

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer

• Skip feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Perfect for trailing pots or trellises — its vines grow gracefully

• Wipe leaves gently to keep them clean and radiant

• Pet-safe ✅ — non-toxic to cats and dogs
