Hoya mirabilis Ø6cm

Hoya mirabilis is a sought-after Hoya species native to Thailand, prized for its thick, succulent dark green leaves and delicate, fragrant pale pink flowers. Compact and easygoing, it makes a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to any plant lover's collection. Non-toxic plant. Care instructions Light: Hoya mirabilis prefers bright, indirect light. Place the plant near an east or west-facing window where it can benefit from a few hours of morning or afternoon sun. Avoid prolonged direct exposure to strong midday sunlight, which can cause burns on the delicate leaves. In insufficient light conditions, the plant will grow more slowly and will be less inclined to flower. Watering: This species has moderate to low water needs, thanks to its succulent leaves that efficiently store moisture. Water only when the substrate has dried completely - check the top 3-4 cm of soil with your finger. In winter, significantly reduce watering frequency. Hoya mirabilis is far more tolerant of drought than of excess water, and its roots are susceptible to rot in permanently moist conditions. Substrate: Use a well-draining mix composed of perlite, pine bark, and peat in equal proportions. Adding limestone or dolomite fragments can recreate the natural conditions of its habitat. The ideal substrate must allow water to drain rapidly, simulating the calcareous environment where the plant naturally grows. Avoid compact garden soil that retains too much moisture. Temperature and humidity: The optimal temperature ranges between 18-28°C throughout the year. Hoya mirabilis tolerates minimum temperatures of approximately 12°C for short periods but cannot withstand frost. Ambient humidity of 40-60% is sufficient, making it perfectly suited for standard indoor environments. Unlike other Hoya species, it does not require very high humidity levels. Fertilisation: Apply a balanced fertiliser, diluted to half the recommended concentration, once a month during the active growing season (spring to autumn). In winter, cease fertilisation entirely. Excess nutrients can damage the sensitive roots, so it is always better to fertilise less rather than more.
