Moreover, flowers should not be moved from place to place because they can shed their buds. Trimming is carried out only with a sharply sharpened, sterile instrument. Promptly, the apical leaves of young plants are pinched to form lateral shoots. Sanitary pruning will be necessary to remove weak and diseased branches. Long shoots are cut off after flowering to form a dense and lush crown. If you create favorable conditions for the Hoya Sarawak, then in the summer or a sunny windowsill, it will bloom beautifully with large inflorescences.Īfter flowering, do not cut off the inflorescences because new flowers will appear on them again next year. The nutrient solution is introduced into the soil only after abundant watering since the root system can get burned if too concentrated fertilizers get in. During the dormant period, feeding is stopped and resumed only with new growth in the spring. The plant responds well to feeding.įertilizers can be diluted to half of the recommended dose on the package. You can use mineral fertilizers with a high potassium content (or balanced) when growing. When kept cool, the Hoya Sarawak should be in practically dry soil by reducing the frequency of watering.įor irrigation, use only softened and well-settled water at room temperature. Also, the bushes can be watered with filtered or bottled water. The plant will appreciate watering with very warm water therefore, it can take a hot shower in the warm season. If the plant grows in a warm room, where the temperature is above 15 ☌, it should be watered regularly, even during the winter months. An indoor plant easily tolerates a short drought but will not handle stagnant moisture in the earth. Be sure to drain the excess moisture that appears after watering In spring and summer, watering should be abundant, but the soil should dry out to a depth of several centimeters between them. The room with the plant is ventilated all year round since the plant loves fresh air very much. The tree is taken out to the garden in the spring and summer.īut they are protected from precipitation. Hoya Sarawak is resistant to lower temperatures and grows well without a dormant period but less actively. With the onset of autumn, the temperature is gradually lowered, and in winter, the plant is kept at a temperature of 12-16 degrees. The optimum temperature in the spring and summer is 23–27 degrees. Such a layer will facilitate a better outflow of moisture. It is better to surround the caudex with small pebbles or coarse sand as a top layer to avoid decay. Finely chopped pine needles and a small fraction of pine bark can be mixed into the soil to maintain an acidic pH. The substrate can be made independently from light leafy and soggy soil. A certain amount of coarse river sand, perlite or vermiculite is mixed into the ground to improve drainage.įor additional nutrition, loosening and disinfection, add a little charcoal. It needs a very porous, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic orneutral pH. The plant does not have any special requirements for the content of nutrients in the soil mixture. The window sills of the east and west windows are the best for maintenance. When grown on the south side, the flower should be placed slightly in the back of the room, and when placed on the northern windows, it is necessary to use artificial lighting with fluorescent. The daylight hours should be about 10 hours, even during dormancy. The daylight hours should belong for the flower to look healthy and regularly form buds. So it would be best if you shaded your hoya during spring and summer daytime hours. These plants require enough sunlight to develop properly. If they grow in poorly lit areas, they become thinner and produce less vibrant flowers.ĭirect sun can burn foliage. It is enough to follow specific rules of care. Hoya Sarawak does not require special attention and maintenance.
