Hoya Macrophylla Pot of Gold

Caring for a Hoya 'Pot of Gold' involves a few essential practices:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some direct morning sun can be beneficial, but too much can scorch the leaves.
2. Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Hoya plants are prone to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
3. Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (around 50% or higher). Consider misting or using a pebble tray.
4. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C).
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, or add perlite to regular potting soil.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
7. Pruning: Prune to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or yellowing leaves.
8. Pests: Watch for pests like mealybugs and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

With these care tips, your Hoya 'Pot of Gold' should thrive and potentially produce beautiful flowers!
