It is worth fertilizing the hoja even in winter to prepare it for spring flowering. Fertilizers cannot be too strong, because excess mineral salts inhibit the growth of this plant and cause rotting of the roots and lack of flowers. Therefore, it is necessary to provide natural nutrients that support the microflora of the substrate.
Hoja prefers a clear stance. In winter, it is difficult to get sunlight, so it is worth considering illuminating it. The place for this plant cannot be exposed to drafts. The air temperature should be between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius.
In winter, we reduce the frequency of watering the specimen to prevent overwatering. We water it only when the soil is completely dry. It is better to overdry the plant than to overwater it. Remember to use water at room temperature. Otherwise, thermal shock will occur to the roots.
Hoja, like other tropical plants, prefers higher air humidity. We should pay attention to this, especially during the heating season, when the air is dry. Then it is worth spraying the leaves of the specimen carefully. However, do not allow water to stagnate in their corners, as it may lead to mold growth. A better solution will be a base with expanded clay.
In winter, it is enough to fertilize the hoja once every 3-4 weeks. Under no circumstances should we use mineral fertilizers that could harm it. In this case, water after cooking vegetables will work.

If we want to fertilize hoja with biohumus, we must dilute it with water in a 1:3 ratio. As mentioned, we water the plant every 3-4 weeks. Thanks to such a delicate conditioner, we will avoid over-fertilizing the specimen, and will strengthen its roots and improve the soil structure.
It is perfect for fertilizing hoi in winter water after cooking broccoli, carrots or beets, rich in magnesium and potassium. In this way, we will naturally strengthen the plant’s metabolism. However, remember that the water does not contain salt. We use this natural conditioner once a month.
Thanks to these fertilizers, we will properly prepare the plant for spring flowering. It will be covered with flowers very quickly. It is possible that it will start to sprout its first buds in winter.
