If you are looking for more hoyas, please check my website because I update it every few days. I also have a lot of plants I am growing that are not yet ready to sell and you can sign up to be alerted when they come in stock.
What soil is in?
I have transitioned most of my hoyas over to either Lezchuza Pon or a DIY pon mix and I have a list of all the ingredients I use for that here.
How should I water the Pon?
They have been in a self-watering system and if you don't keep them in self-watering, they will need to be watered every time the pot gets lighter, which will probably be every few days. If you don't want to water that often or don't water to experiment with a self-watering pot, after the three-week quarantine mentioned below, I recommend you either move it to a self-watering pot or re-pot it your preferred hoya mix, keeping as much Pon as possible.
What do I do when I first get my plant?
First off, there is a good chance it needs a little water and it definitely wants some light after being in a dark box for a few days.
When you receive your plants, please inspect them for pests or damage and then put them in quarantine away from the rest of your collection for three weeks. This is a good idea for any plants you buy from any store. Please don't repot them during this time as it will only add to the stress they have from shipping.
Don't cut or trim leaves/roots during the acclimation period. This not only voids my guarantee but will further stress and greatly reduce the survival rate of your new plant.
Don't stress about broken or yellowing leaves. This is 100% normal for shipping plants.
What if I want to repot it?
If you want to repot it, wait three weeks then you can move it to the soil medium of your choice, but please keep the pot the same size. Hoyas love to be root-bound - plus it makes it a lot easier to get the watering down correctly.
Generally, you will know it is time to move it to a larger pot when the roots are pushing against all the sides of pot. When you do re-pot, only go up one inch in size.
How do I know when to water my hoya?
I feel the pot and if it's lighter than when it's wet, I water it. With Pon it's easy to tell when to water because you can visually see that it's dry and chalky.
