Light Requirements:

• Medium to bright light, such as that provided by a window a few feet away, is ideal for Hoya heuschkeliana Albomarginata(outer margin variegation).
• Use a sheer curtain to soften the sunlight coming in through the window during the few hours it is exposed each day.
• If you don't have access to natural light, a fluorescent lamp will do the trick for your Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation). Make sure there's plenty of light, but don't expose anyone to the scorching rays of the sun.

Temperature Requirements:

• The best conditions for Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) are temperatures between moderate and warm. A constant temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) or higher will ensure their continued happiness and health. During the plant's growing season, make sure it gets enough light and water.
• Providing the right environment for Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) during its critical growing season is essential to the plant's health and survival. Bring your Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) indoors after a half day of sunlight, as the weather is beginning to turn cold.
• The Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) is best brought indoors for the winter, as it is susceptible to frost damage if left outside. The Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) is only partially dormant during the colder months.
• Do your best to seal off any draughts and keep them far from any heat sources.

Humidity Requirements:

• Humidity levels of 60% or higher are ideal for the Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) plant. This is due to the high humidity levels present in the Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation)'s natural habitat.
• Unfortunately, most houses have humidity levels between 30 and 40 percent.
• The good news is that a humidifier can be used to easily raise the relative humidity around the Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation). Try increasing the humidity with a pebble tray.

Watering Requirements:

• Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) only requires a little water due to its thick, water-storing leaves and generally short roots. Treat it like a succulent in terms of watering, waiting until the soil is completely dry before giving it a good soaking. During the spring and summer, when Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) is actively growing, keep the soil moist.
• Check the soil's moisture content with a moisture metre or your finger before watering Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation), as this plant is prone to root rot if overwatered. When a plant is thirsty, its leaves will curl and wrinkle, too.
• So, keep an eye on your Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) and water it appropriately to prevent the soil from drying out to the point where the leaves begin to shrivel.
• It's important to water your plant more frequently during the dry season so that it doesn't become susceptible to diseases. However, watering is unnecessary during the winter.

Soil Requirements:

• To prevent waterlogged soil, make sure Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) is planted in soil that drains well and contains a lot of perlite or something comparable (up to 50% is acceptable). It doesn't bother Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) to be somewhat root-bound. This plant prefers a pleasant and rich mixture of soil.
• Being an epiphyte, Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) is accustomed to the rich soil in which they will grow. A combination of organic potting soil, compost, worm castings, and orchid growing mixture is what you can use (which is a combination of fine bark and perlite).
• Perlite or bark are good additions because your Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation) is an epiphyte, much like orchids, and needs excellent drainage. Additionally, you could use coco coir, leaf mould, or charcoal. For this Hoya, USDA hardiness zones 10a to 11b are ideal.

Fertilizing Requirements:

• Higher nitrogen fertiliser stimulates foliar development in Hoya heuschkeliana (outer margin variegation). As they are about to bloom, switch to a higher phosphorous content. 
• Use a fish emulsion or a full liquid fertiliser twice a month to fertilise during the majority of the summer.
• Worm castings or compost can be added as a top-dressing in the spring because they act as a slow-release fertiliser. Avoid fertilising in the winter or the fall.
