Description
Hoya are slow, steady growers with waxy leaves and, in time, clusters of star-shaped, often fragrant flowers. This one is Hoya Krohniana Silver 4".
Difficulty: Easy.
Light: Bright, indirect light — and some direct sun helps trigger the famous waxy flower clusters.
Care: Let the soil dry well between waterings; thick leaves store water. Never cut the short flower spurs (peduncles) — they rebloom. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced plant food, and repot one size up when roots crowd the pot.
Size: Vining types trail or climb 3 to 10 feet over time.
Toxicity: Toxic if eaten — keep out of reach of pets and small children, and wash your hands after handling cut leaves or sap.
