Hoya Latifolia 'Albomarginata' Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Some exposure to morning or late afternoon sun enhances variegation, but avoid intense midday sun.

2. Soil:

Prefers a well-draining mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coconut coir to promote aeration and prevent root rot.

6. Fertilization:

Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. Propagation:

Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water or soil. Ensure at least one node is submerged for successful rooting.

8. Pests & Diseases:

Resistant to most pests but may occasionally attract mealybugs or spider mites. Wipe leaves regularly to keep them clean.
