Hoya Rangsang

Hoya rangsan is a lesser-known Hoya species with attractive foliage and relatively straightforward care needs. Here’s how to keep it healthy:

1. Light: Prefer bright, indirect light. It can handle some morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves.
2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Aim for humidity levels around 40-60%. In drier climates, consider using a humidity tray or a humidifier to maintain moisture.
4. Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). 
5. Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This mix ensures good aeration and helps prevent root rot.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.
7. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Spring is the best time for repotting.
8. Pruning: Trim any leggy or dead growth to encourage a fuller plant. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and health.

With these care tips, your Hoya rangsan should grow well and bring you its distinctive foliage.
