Hoya 'Aurora-umbra' care

Collectors know Hoya 'Aurora-umbra' for its steady pace; it keeps a trailing habit even in imperfect corners.

It does best in morning sun with afternoon shade, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered when the top third of the mix is dry, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at occasional misting in dry rooms; pot it in a chunky aroid mix and refresh the top layer each spring. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
