How to Take care of Serissa japonica 'Snowrose'

Sun: Indirect

This plant thrives in medium to bright light conditions. Place it near an east or west-facing window for steady growth and vibrant leaf variegation.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy bright, indirect sunlight with a touch of direct morning or late afternoon rays. Too much harsh midday sun can scorch the leaves.

Water: When mostly dry

Water only when the top 75–80% of the soil is dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so always ensure the pot has good drainage.

Humidity: Any

Hoya Crassipetiolata adapts well to average household humidity but will appreciate a boost in moisture for faster growth and occasional blooms.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Hoya plants are generally considered non-toxic to pets, but nibbling leaves can still cause mild stomach upset—best to keep them out of reach.
