How to grow Hoya 'Teddy Bear' in NZ

Hoya 'Teddy Bear' grows well indoors in a warm, bright space with indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun and protect from frost.

Maintain moderate to high humidity and feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser. Keep the plant slightly root-bound and avoid removing old flower spurs to encourage repeat flowering.
