Know before you buy
This Hoya thrives in bright, indirect light. Providing adequate light is essential to maintain the vibrant green and yellow variegation; too little light may cause the leaves to revert to solid green.
Like most Hoyas, the DS-70 prefers to dry out between waterings. Allow the top inch or two of soil to feel completely dry before watering again to prevent root rot.
The plant ships in a standard 4-inch plastic nursery pot. This pot is designed to support the established root system during transit and is ready for placement in your home or a decorative planter of your choice.
Minor leaf damage is common during the shipping process and typically does not affect the long-term health of the plant. Simply prune any damaged leaves to encourage new, healthy growth.
The Hoya DS-70 is generally considered a manageable plant for those with basic houseplant experience. As long as you provide bright, indirect light and avoid overwatering, it is a rewarding and relatively low-maintenance addition to your collection.
