Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to stay healthy. Place it near a window that gets plenty of natural light but avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves.
As a succulent, it prefers to dry out between waterings. A good rule of thumb is to water thoroughly once the soil feels dry to the touch, which typically happens about once a week in standard indoor conditions.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to the light and temperature of your home, reducing stress during the transition.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
The Hoya Lyi is happiest in temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It will do well in most standard indoor environments that remain within this range.
