  • Nickname: Wax Plant or Hoya wayetii

  • Vibe: Trailing, semi-succulent, tropical

  • Flowers: Star-shaped, usually burgundy and fragrant!

  • Pet-Friendly? Nope – they’re mildly toxic to pets. Keep them out of reach of nibblers!

🪴 Light

Bright, indirect light is the sweet spot. They can handle some direct sun—especially morning rays—but too much harsh light will scorch those pretty leaves. If you notice reddish margins on the leaves, that’s them saying “I love this light!”

  • ✅ Happy under a grow light too

  • 🚫 Avoid full, all-day sun or dark corners

💧 Water

Think succulent rules: let them dry out a bit!

  • Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry

  • In winter, cut back – they’re not as thirsty

  • Yellow, mushy leaves = overwatering

  • Wrinkled, soft leaves = underwatering

Tip: Bottom watering works great for hoyas. Let the pot sit in water for 15–20 mins, then drain.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Temp: 60–85°F – keep it cozy

  • Humidity: 40–60% is ideal. More is fine, too!

If the air is dry, especially in winter, a pebble tray or humidifier helps.

🌱 Soil

These babies love well-draining, airy soil. Think chunky!

  • Mix idea: 1 part potting soil + 1 part perlite + 1 part orchid bark

  • Or grab a premade hoya or aroid mix

Drainage is non-negotiable—no soggy roots!

🪴 Potting & Repotting

  • Only repot when rootbound or soil’s breaking down (every 2–3 years)

  • Use a pot with drainage holes

  • Terracotta pots help with moisture control if you’re heavy-handed with water

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

  • Prune to shape or encourage fullness

  • Don’t snip the peduncles (flower stems) – hoyas rebloom from them!

  • Propagate via stem cuttings in water or sphagnum moss

🌸 Flowering Tips

They bloom when:

  • They’re mature (usually after a couple years)

  • Getting enough bright light

  • Not overwatered

  • Slightly rootbound

Be patient! Once they’re comfy, those cute clusters will pop up.

🐛 Pests to Watch For

  • Mealybugs, spider mites, scale, and aphids

  • Wipe leaves with neem oil or insecticidal soap if you spot trouble

🚨 Troubleshooting

Problem What’s Going On? Fix
Yellow leaves Overwatering Let soil dry out more between waterings
Leaf drop Too cold or sudden light changes Keep in stable warmth and light
No blooms Not enough light, too much fertilizer Move to a brighter spot, ease up on feeding

🌟 Bonus Care Tips

  • Light fertilizer in spring and summer (like a diluted balanced or orchid fertilizer) every 4–6 weeks

  • Clean those leaves with a damp cloth so they can breathe and photosynthesize happily
