Hoya 'Nocturne-velutina' care

Hoya 'Nocturne-velutina' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a trailing habit within its first year.

Give it medium filtered light; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

Aim for 55% humidity or higher and use rich, moisture-retentive mix — roots here want air as much as water. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
