Nest Tropicals Hoya Michele

This Hoya thrives in bright, indirect light. A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window is ideal to encourage healthy growth without scorching the leaves.

Allow the soil to dry out significantly between waterings. Because it is a succulent-like epiphyte, it prefers to dry out almost completely rather than sit in consistently damp soil, which can lead to root rot.

The 3-inch pot is perfect for the plant's current size, but Hoyas generally prefer to be slightly root-bound. You won't need to repot it immediately; wait until you see roots growing out of the drainage holes before moving it to a slightly larger container.

While it appreciates higher humidity levels, the ‘Michele’ is quite adaptable to average household conditions. If your home is particularly dry, placing it on a pebble tray or near other plants can help maintain a comfortable microclimate.

Yes, it is a great choice for beginners who are mindful of their watering habits. As long as you provide bright light and avoid overwatering, it is a relatively low-maintenance and rewarding plant to grow.
