Hoya, Assorted

Scientific Name: Hoya
Common Name: Wax plant, waxflower

Hoyas are well-loved by many plant collectors around the world. They originate from many Asian countries and some variations hail from Australia. They are climbing/vining plants and in nature are often found living their best life on trees (#epiphyte). Hoyas generally have thick, succulent leaves and mature plants can have vines that can be well over 10 feet long. Most hoyas will need to be 4-5 years old at least to bloom, but when they do... expect to be fascinated! Each hoya has a flower completely unique to them, with a myriad of enticing fragrances and mesmerizing blooms. The world of hoyas is vast, captivating, and entirely irresistable. Prepare to be hooked!

Basic needs: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light. Water when soil is completely dry, when leaves are slightly wilted and soft; since hoyas are a succulent, they will absorb water into their leaves to hold on to and do NOT like to be overwatered. They prefer high humidity but can tolerate lower humidity environments too. Pot in well-draining, chunky soil.  PRO TIP: never cut off a hoya's peduncles (AKA those loooooong stems that love to climb or trail)-- these are where the hoya will eventually flower!
