Planting and Location
Light: Hoya Krinkle plants prefer bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate lower light conditions, they thrive best when exposed to filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the intense afternoon hours, as it can lead to leaf burn.
Temperature: Maintain a warm and consistent temperature for your Hoya Krinkle plant. They prefer temperatures between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes, as they can be sensitive to fluctuations.
Watering: Hoya Krinkle plants have succulent-like leaves and are adapted to periods of drought. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Water sparingly but thoroughly, ensuring that excess water drains away. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to strike a balance.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix for your Hoya Krinkle. A mix specifically designed for succulents or a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged soil.
Humidity: Hoya Krinkle plants can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, but they appreciate a slightly higher humidity if possible. Regular misting or placing a tray with water and pebbles near the plant can help increase humidity.
Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your Hoya Krinkle with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing during the fall and winter when the plant is in a dormant phase.
