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 irresistible. Prepare to be hooked!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA native to Vietnam and the Philippines, the Crassipetiolata is found clinging to mossy branches of tropical forests. It is a fast growing, beginner-friendly plant that is prized for its thick, glossy, lace-like leaves that have intricate dark green veins and the occasional splash of silver freckles. The cream-colored flower clusters have an intense, sweet fragrance that’s most pronounced during the night.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasic Needs: These prefer bright, indirect light. Water when soil is completely dry. Pot in well-draining, chunky soil- since they are a succulent, they will absorb water into their leaves to hold on to.  They prefer high humidity but can tolerate lower humidity environments. PRO TIP: never cut off a hoya's peduncles (AKA those loooooong stems that love to climb or trail, ending in a little bumpy or bristly stump)-- these are where the hoya will eventually flower! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos- but it will be just as beautiful!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritters Garden and Gift","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":47976144109753,"sku":"HOYCRASS4","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5583\/2249\/files\/IMG_20260705_122852.jpg?v=1783279813","url":"https:\/\/www.4ritter.com\/products\/hoya-crassipetiolata","provider":"Ritters Garden and Gift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
