Although hoyas have species based on -5 degrees (such as cornosa and pubicalyx species), many of them die at temperatures below +5 degrees. That's why we need to protect it from cold and frost.

At the same time, hoyas can be damaged at temperatures more than +40 degrees. The temperature they like is between +20 and +35 degrees.

Where there is full sun and complete darkness, hoyas cannot develop fully and can die easily. The appropriate environment is bright but does not see the sun directly.

Watering the soil surface as it dries is very important for plant growth and health. Excessively dry plant soil or continuously wet plant soil causes plant roots to dry out or rot. In both cases, the plant is damaged and dies.

In order for excess water under the pot to come out of the pot, there must be pencil-thick water drain holes and these holes must not be closed, such as water in the plate, etc. Plant roots should be able to breathe through these holes. Plant roots that cannot breathe do not develop well and root rot occurs. When you water with cold water in summer days, the plant will experience short-term cold shock, and watering with warm water in summer will be very good for your plants.

Irrigation should be reduced in cold winter days and irrigated with warm water at 30-35 degrees.

On winter days, when there is a problem with the roots, the juice of the plant leaves begins to shrink and become thinner. In this case, the plant roots should be checked, and if the roots are rotten and blackened, the sturdy body should be steeled and re-rooted.

It will be good to change the soil once in 3 years and trim it by pruning the roots. Pot size should be 1.5 lt. By keeping the pot small, you make it bloom more. When you give appropriate balanced fertilizers and plant nutrients, their health is very good, they develop well, Using balanced fertilizers and plant nutrients makes your job easier.

It is cut into 2 or 4 eyes with 2 +2 leaves from its branches and rooted in a moist soil environment.

Some species bloom unscented but showy flowers, some stink. Some have an intense odor, while very special species have super scents.

Although their scents are like evening delight and jasmine, very special species emit the scent of hyacinth, clove, peach , vanilla and rose to the environment.
