Soilless Hoya Potting Mix (Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower)- two sizes *NEW*

Many Hoyas are epiphytes, and grow on other plants or trees rather than in soil. They anchor themselves to tree trunks or branches, using their roots to absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and organic debris.  When they do grow terrestrially, they prefer well-draining substrates that mimic the loose, airy conditions of their epiphytic lifestyle.

Our Hoya Potting Mix is designed to mimic as best we can, the environment of nature by providing optimum aeration, moisture retention and robust drainage.

Ingredients:

• Sponge Rock: Enhances aeration and drainage, ensuring roots receive the oxygen they need while preventing waterlogging.
• Fine Orchid Bark: Offers excellent drainage and stability, promoting healthy root development and preventing root rot.
• Fine Coconut Husk Chips: Retains moisture efficiently while allowing for proper drainage, creating an ideal balance.
• Coconut Coir: A sustainable and eco-friendly component that retains moisture and improves soil structure, supporting vigorous growth.

Trace Additions:

• Coffee Grounds: Provides a slight acidity and beneficial nutrients, enhancing the overall health of your Hoya plants.
• Charcoal: Helps remove impurities and keeps the soil fresh, promoting a healthy growing environment.
• Hummus: Enriches the soil with organic matter and essential nutrients, supporting strong and healthy plant growth.

Usage Instructions:

1. Preparation: Select a well-ventilated pot with drainage holes to ensure excess water can escape.
2. Potting: Gently remove your Hoya plant from its current pot, shaking off any old soil. Place a layer of our Hoya Potting Mix at the bottom of the new pot.
3. Planting: Position the Hoya plant in the center of the pot and fill in around the roots with more mix, ensuring the base of the plant sits just below the pot's rim. Press the mix gently to secure the plant.
4. Watering: Water thoroughly after potting, allowing excess water to drain away. Adjust watering frequency based on the ambient humidity and temperature, keeping the mix moist but not soggy.
