Dappled shade or morning sun... fast draining medium, very easy plants in humid areas...

what about the pot size Izhar? is this pot size 3inch OK ? it dries very quickly ... I am using liquid fertilizer weekily. Heard this plant is native to India,, strange ! it's not common in Pakistan.

Its common in Karachi only.. it doesnt survives in other areas of Pakistan... pot size doesnt matter for Hoyas, they prefer to be root-bound.. also no need to fertilize it frequently.. once a month is enough...
