Hoyas tend to be slow growers (compared to leafier tropical varieties), but be patient; these plants can grace us with their beauty for several decades! Hoyas are "epiphytic" specimens, meaning they grow upon the surface of other plants such as trees. If provided with sufficient conditions, hoyas produce fragrant, long-lasting blooms. Although they look lovely when we allow their foliage to cascade freely, be mindful that they are natural climbers so they can be trained to grow upon a trellis or vined against something to guide verticle growth. 

The H. Chuoke is a cross between the carnosa and serpens and a sister plant of the H. Mathilde

CARE:

  • Thrives with consistent bright, indirect light. A bit of morning or evening sun is beneficial but avoid prolonged exposure to intense, direct midday sun which can fade or scorch the leaves, and potentially dry out emerging flowers.
  • Watering needs can vary depending on the potting media. If the Hoya is in potting soil, you typically want to wait for the soil to be about 70-90 percent dry before watering. If the hoya is in a chunkier mix (intended for epiphytes), you will typically have to water more frequently since water is bound to work through the potting media quickly. In the case of chunkier media, water when the first 1/4-1/3 of the substrate feels dry. It is essential to refrain from constantly keeping potting media wet, as Hoya are sensitive to overwatering, which can quickly lead to root rot.
  • Does well with moderate to high humidity, which can help its flowers bloom, but this plant can be adaptable to household humidity, however, you may be less likely to observe blooms.
  • Due to its epiphytic nature, Hoya appreciates being a bit rootbound so it can typically go for several years before needing its pot to be upsized.
