What type of compost do I need for my wax flower?

Our Advice:

Hoya plants need a moist but free-draining soil so use a peat-based multi-purpose compost with added perlite or vermiculite. Only repot the plant when it is totally pot bound and never repot when the flower buds appear, wait until after flowering.
