Hoya glabra

Botanical Name: Hoya glabra

Native Region/Environment: SE Asia

Sun/Light: Bright indirect light or direct morning light.  Low light will stunt growth.

Temperature:  Ideal temperatures are between 60 and 85F.

Water:  Allow top of soil to barely feel dry to the touch.  Prone to root rot if left in standing water.  Due to the larger leaf size periodic misting is beneficial.

Soil:  Porous, well draining fertile soil.

Growth Pattern:  Trailing evergreen perennial vine.

Mature Size:  A large leafed hoya from humid mangrove forests and typically produces flowers in higher humidity environments.  Able to grow several feet high on a trellis and will grow longer vines when cascading from a pot or hanging basket. Occasional pruning will result in a fuller plant.

Attributes: Small root systems relative to potential plant size.  Low maintenance.  Very long lasting blooms. Do not remove peduncles (flower stalks) after blooming-hoya rebloom from the same peduncles which will increase in length after each successive bloom.

Attractor:  Flowers are laden with abundant sweet nectar that attract hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and moths.

Pot:  4"
