Hoya (Hoya spp.)
Hoya plants, known for their fragrant flowers, thrive in warm, humid conditions and require a little more attention to light and temperature.
Light
- Indirect Light: Place your Hoya in a spot with indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Morning or evening sunlight for up to 2 hours is okay, but too much direct sunlight can cause yellowing or burnt leaves.
- Ideal Locations: Near east or north-facing windows is best. Avoid west and south-facing windows where the sunlight can be too intense.
Watering
- Water Sparingly: Hoya plants store moisture in their thick, fleshy leaves, so they don’t need frequent watering. During spring and summer, water every 2 weeks, and in winter, water every 3 to 4 weeks—always check the soil before watering to avoid over-watering.
Temperature
- Warm & Humid: Hoya prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) during the day and 60-65°F (16-18°C) at night. Keep the temperature between 68-75°F (20-24°C) for the best growth. Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or above 90°F (32°C) to prevent damage.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity levels above 60% to support healthy growth and prevent stunted development.
Soil
- Well-Draining Soil: Use a standard potting mix with good air circulation. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Fertilizing
- Fertilize During Growing Season: During spring and summer, use a higher-nitrogen fertilizer to promote foliage growth. When it’s time for flowering, switch to a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to encourage fuller blooms. Avoid fertilizing during the winter.
Hardiness Zone Information: Zones 10-11
Welcome to our Hardiness Zone guide! Here, we’ll cover the details for Zones 10-11, where temperatures typically range between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C). These zones are characterized by mild winters and warm, pleasant summers, making them perfect for a variety of tropical and subtropical plants. If you're looking to grow lush greenery, flowering shrubs, or unique succulents, this zone provides an ideal environment for a wide range of plant species. Read on to find out what plants thrive in Zones 10-11 and how you can make the most of your growing space.
Hardiness Zones 10-11 Overview
Zones 10-11 are known for their consistently warm climates and mild winters. These zones are typically found in coastal areas or regions with Mediterranean climates. Here’s a breakdown of each zone:
-
Zone 10:
- Minimum temperature range: 30°F to 40°F (-1°C to 4°C)
- This zone allows for growing many heat-loving plants, like bougainvillea, palms, and succulents. It’s perfect for those who love tropical and subtropical gardens, as long as the plants are shielded from frost.
-
Zone 11:
- Minimum temperature range: 40°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C)
- Ideal for the most tropical species, including hibiscus, orchids, and certain types of palms, this zone enjoys consistently warm weather and mild winter temperatures.
These zones are often found in parts of southern California, Florida, and Hawaii, where warm temperatures persist throughout the year. Plants in these zones experience little risk of frost and grow more vigorously in the warm climate.
Temperature Range: 60°F - 80°F (15°C - 27°C)
The temperature range of 60°F to 80°F (15°C - 27°C) is ideal for a large variety of plants. This moderate warmth creates optimal growing conditions for many tropical and subtropical species. Let’s take a closer look at what this range means for your plants:
-
Minimum Temperature (60°F / 15°C):
- The lower end of this range is perfect for tropical plants that thrive in consistently warm environments. Most plants in this range won’t experience cold damage, and the mild temperature encourages healthy, steady growth.
-
Maximum Temperature (80°F / 27°C):
- While the upper temperature limit is still comfortable for many plants, it is important to ensure that the plants are properly watered and have enough air circulation during the warmer months. This temperature range is ideal for growing lush tropical plants without the risk of heat stress or sunburn.
Shipping Policy
We carefully select the healthiest and highest quality succulents to send to our customers. After choosing your plants, we remove them from their nursery pots and bare-root them to ensure they are ready for shipping. If needed, we allow the roots to dry before packaging. Each plant is wrapped in tissue paper to protect it during transit, and to help wick away excess moisture from the roots. Finally, the plants are packed securely in a sturdy cardboard box, ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.
How Long Does It Take for My Order to Ship?
Most orders are processed and shipped within 1-3 business days. However, in some cases, if the roots require extra time to fully dry before shipping, there may be a slight delay. We strive to ship all orders as quickly as possible while ensuring the proper care of your plants.
Thank you for trusting us with your plant purchase. We’re dedicated to getting your order to you in perfect condition!
