Hi! U need to water it with room temp water til it runs out the bottom of pot. Let it drain throughly. Spritz the leaves the a day,if u can. It helps ring up the humidity for it. Sit it in a area that it will get morning sun,I have found it best with mine. Water it again when u can feel the soil dry up to 2nd knuckle if pointer finger,since it's now wanting to go dormant with winter mths. During spring-summer water if dry up to 1st knuckle and spritz. Make sure it's not where cold air can hit it

All Hoya plants like to b Abit rootbound. So Once U plant it,u shouldn't Repot unless it Absolutely needs it.

Also, don't let it sit in water..make sure when u let her drain,let it sit awhile to make sure all the water is done exiting bottom. I'm Spring feed it some Miracle Grow. It's 2 late now,but u can feed it every 14 days. I hope this helps you.. if u need anything else..just tag me @ the my username and I'll try my best😀😍

Hey,Kyla❣️Right now u won't find one III m stores unless u get extra lucky. U can order it from online,but u will pay a big price. I know I've seen them at Walmart during the growing season. I wish my cuttings were bigger and I'd send u one,but they are just starting to put out alittle bit of growth from me receiving them. Look online at walmart or amazon and see u may get lucky😍 @PunkyKy
