Hoya Villosa

This plant is part of our 'Home Grown Propagations & Cuttings' collection, please visit this page for more information. Potsize (diameter): 8 cm. One pot, as photographed. In moss. One of our pet friendly options for those of you with furry friends who like to nibble on your plants! Hoya are a vining plant, they will happily hang off of a shelf or in a hanging basket but if you give them a trellis or pole they will rapidly climb it. If you look after your Hoya right, it will reward you by sending out cluster of star-shaped flowers which form on the stems. Care: Light: Bright, indirect light will make this plant thrive. They can grow in a lower light, however it will stunt growth and the plant will not flower. Water: Allow the top half of soil to dry out before watering during growing months. During the winter reduce watering considerably. Food: During growing months apply a weak fertiliser once a month. Humidity: Will tolerate a normal household humidity however for increased growth and bigger leaves an increased humidity will be ideal.
