$230.00Fleur & Co
Hoyas have been popular house planst for decades and with good reason. They are extremely long-lived, have a classic, deep green, vining foliage and produce fragrant, light pink and red star-shaped flowers. Because of their thick waxy, foliage they are often called wax plants or sometimes porcelain flowers referring to the unique texture of the flowers.These tropical vining plants have a few requirements in order to thrive but nothing too hard. Give them bright, indirect light, humidity and a light touch when it comes to watering. Use a potting mix that allows for good air circulation around the roots. Read on for the best recipe for success. Plant Size Large: 8 inch standard nursery pot. Light Select a place that gets bright, indirect light. Donât let their waxy foliage fool you. They are not succulents and canât take harsh afternoon light. They will grow in lower light situations but itâs unlikely they will bloom. Water Water regularly with room-temperature water, spring through summer. Let the top layer of soil dry between watering. In the fall and winter growth naturally slows down and they wonât use as much water. Water sparingly during fall and winter, give them just enough that the soil doesnât dry out completely. Too much water can cause flowers to drop. Plant Specific Care Hoya are tropical plants that thrive in humid conditions. Use a humidifier to bring the humidity levels up, especially in winter when indoor air tends to be dry. A saucer with gravel and water also provides humidity as the water evaporates. Misting with room-temperature water also helps but avoid spraying the flowers.TemperatureKeep the room temperature warm year-round, try not to let it drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Itâs also best to keep plants from touching cold windows and away from heating and cooling vents.PruningPrune in spring before vigorous growth begins. The stems with no leaves are called spurs and shouldnât be removed. Flowers are produced on the same spurs year after year. Hoya are vining plants that will happily cascade from a shelf or window sill. Conversely, they are often trained onto trellises that are either vertical or circular, giving the impression of a more robust plant. Pet Friendly Plant Yes.Â
