Hoya, Pot of Gold
Scientific Name: Hoya latifolia 'Pot of Gold'
Common Name: Waxflower, Waxvine, Pot of Gold
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 irresistible. Prepare to be hooked!
This Hoya variety is a popular, easy-care plant. With stunning inner-variegated foliage, the Pot of Gold needs very bright, indirect light in order to thrive! When happy, this Hoya will bloom like any other, with clusters of porcelain star-shaped blooms that have a distinct sweet coconut scent.
Basic Needs: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower 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!
