Hoya Flamingo Dream

Hoya ‘Flamingo Dream’ is a striking variety known for its colorful foliage and unique appearance. Here’s how to care for it:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can cause leaf burn. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.
2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage.
3. Humidity: Hoya ‘Flamingo Dream’ prefers higher humidity. Aim for around 50-60% relative humidity. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a humidity tray.
4. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). 
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for succulents or orchids works well, or you can create a blend with potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). 
7. Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing leaves as needed. You can also prune to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
8. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the current one and refresh the soil.

By following these care tips, your Hoya ‘Flamingo Dream’ should thrive and continue to be a beautiful addition to your plant collection
