Hoyas are light-loving plants, which need consistent feeding to really establish. Although it has semi-succulent leaves, the Linearis is a thirsty Hoya and requires water when a third of the pot has dried out. They love humidity too, so avoid draughts and radiators.

We repot our Hoyas every 1-2 years in a chunky potting mix. Keep in bright light, with some hours of gentle direct to get the most growth out of your plant. If you're keen to see it get large and maybe even flower, we recommend using a houseplant fertiliser in every other watering during the growing season.
