I water my Hoya's once a week. This gives them time to dry out before their next watering because the grow medium doesn't hold a lot of moisture. Click here to check out the soil mix I use. Besides filtered water, I use Neptune's Harvest Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer 2-3-1 as well as Liqui-Dirt as recommended by my friend and mentor Christie. My watering schedule is as follows: Week 1 - Neptune's (diluted to half strength) Week 2 - Liqui-Dirt (follow directions on package *two-step dilution*) Week 3 - Plain filtered water I find that even in the winter time using this schedule I have great success with plant growth. Additionally, I mix in 2-3 drops of ecological labs microbe lift mosquito control per gallon of water to keep fungus gnats away.
Keep in mind that how often you water your Hoyas is highly dependent on your environment as well as your chosen grow medium. Click here to read about my fertilizer update Sep 2021. Click here to read about my fertilizer update May 2022.
