Hoya Wayetii

Hoya Wayetii is a beautiful Hoya with elongated, slightly glossy green leaves and distinctive darker edges. These edges vary in redness depending on the amount of light they receive. Hoya wayetii is a marvelous sight to behold when in blossom with striking small mauve balls of clusters. It’s climbing nature means that this plant, with time, can fill a room with succulent leaves and a range of colours.

Hoya Wayetii is very easy to care for as long as you keep it in a bright spot and are careful with water. Like many other types of Hoyas, this species is epiphytic in its natural habitat, which means it’s actually an air plant with crinkly succulent leaves.

The plant is approximately 15cm long and it comes in a plastic nursery pot 10cm.

Soil: Lightweight, fast-draining potting mix

Light: bright indirect

Humidity: 40-60%

Please note: Hoya won’t flower unless it receives very bright indirect sunlight. A south-facing window would be ideal, although eastern and western exposures may also work if they are bright enough. This plant will even tolerate a little direct sunlight.
