Hoya Sipitangensis – Carla’s Hoya Haven

This is shaping up to be a fabulous little plant. I ordered this October 1, 2022, from Land of Alice. It has thrived in the grow tent all winter. I keep it under a carnosa for a little shade. I still have it in the same little pot it arrived in which is a kind of self watering pot. There is space at the bottom for a little water and the rest drains out. It’s potted in coconut husk and perlite which is how it arrived. I didn’t want to repot this one until it grew more roots. It’s nowhere near root bound, yet.

I water this once every two weeks with lightly fertilized water and make sure the coconut is soaked. I let it drain a bit and then hang it back up in the grow tent. In the summer I think this one will do well on a shelf. On my work from home days I like to turn the central air off, open the windows and turn the ceiling fans on. It’s a bit warm and humid for me when it gets up to 84F and 77% humidity inside the house, but the plants love it!

This is a wonderful, easy going little plant. It’s a good grower and I look forward to seeing some sun stressing on the leaves and maybe even a bloom this summer.
