Care Guide for Hoya Bella ‘Luis Bois’

✔ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sun can enhance variegation, but avoid harsh afternoon rays that may scorch its delicate leaves.

✔ Water: Unlike other Hoyas, ‘Luis Bois’ enjoys consistently moist but not soggy soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, using filtered or distilled water for best results. Reduce watering in winter.

✔ Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (50-70%) but adapts well to typical household conditions. A pebble tray or occasional misting can help maintain ideal moisture levels.

✔ Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

✔ Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix—a combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat-based soil works best to prevent root rot.

✔ Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks. Avoid over-fertilizing in fall and winter.

✔ Pruning & Maintenance: Trim occasionally to encourage bushier growth. Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy.

✔ Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings placed in water or sphagnum moss. Roots typically develop within a few weeks.

With the right care, Hoya Bella ‘Luis Bois’ will reward you with lush variegated foliage and elegant, fragrant blooms—an absolute must-have for any Hoya enthusiast!
