Instructions d'entretien

Hoya kerrii prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity but can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. Water the plant when the top layer of soil dries out, but avoid letting it sit in water. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors in suitable climates.

Sol

Hoya kerrii prefers well-draining soil, such as a mix of loam and perlite. Ensure the soil is airy to prevent root rot. A pot with drainage holes is essential to allow excess water to escape.

Engrais

Feed Hoya kerrii with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Rempotage

Repot Hoya kerrii every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and refresh the soil mix. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.

Propagation

Propagate Hoya kerrii through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and a few leaves, and place it in water or a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Taille

Prune Hoya kerrii to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back long vines. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.

Toxicité

Hoya kerrii is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.
