Meet the Hoya carnosa 'Gracilis'

Hoya carnosa 'Gracilis', commonly known as the Wax Plant, is a trailing tropical houseplant native to parts of Asia. It features long, slender stems lined with thick, glossy green leaves, often splashed with delicate white variegation. Like many Hoyas, it produces clusters of sweetly scented, star-shaped red flowers in summer when mature. Its easy-care nature and elegant, trailing growth make it a favourite for shelves or hanging displays.

Growing & Care

Bright warm spot. Some direct early morning or late afternoon sun is ok. Midday direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn. An east or west facing window is best. Hoya can store water in their leaves so are somewhat drought tolerant. Water thoroughly but allow this plant to dry out half way between waterings. Can adapt well to normal household conditions but will enjoy some humidity. A balanced houseplant fertiliser. Left to grow, expect a spread of Up to 150 cm wide and a height of Up to 250 cm tall with time.

Repotting

Once every two years - doesn't mind being slightly root bound.
