Place Sweetheart Hoya in a south- or southwest-facing window. Bright direct light is needed. Keep the plant out of drafts from doors or the drying heat from a furnace vent.

Variegated Sweetheart Hoya Care

No special attention is needed for a Sweetheart Hoya. This plant grows very slowly and will not need to be repotted for several years. Hoyas are epiphytic plants that thrive in fast-draining soil with plenty of perlite and fine orchid bark mixed in. 

Watering Variegated Sweetheart Hoya

Only water Hoya when the soil is dry. This succulent stores moisture in its leaves and never likes to be in soggy soil. Depending on the room's humidity, check for watering about once a week as a general rule. Watering is the same year-round, and this plant does not have a dormancy period.

Feeding Variegated Sweetheart Hoya

Sweetheart Hoya is not a heavy-feeding plant and should only be fertilized once or twice a year. Use a liquid feed formulated for succulents and cacti. Feed the plant at half the manufacturer’s recommended strength as part of regular watering.
