Hoya Linearis 14cm

🌿 Hoya linearis Care Guide

Hoya linearis is all about soft, cascading texture — long trailing stems covered in slender, fuzzy green leaves create a beautiful curtain of foliage. Delicate in appearance but wonderfully rewarding, this unusual Hoya can also produce clusters of fragrant white flowers, making it a stunning choice for hanging planters and high shelves. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Gentle morning or late afternoon sun can encourage flowering
• Avoid harsh midday sunlight, which can scorch or dry the foliage
• Too little light may result in weaker growth and fewer flowers

💧 Water

• Allow the top layer of the soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away
• Avoid allowing the plant to stay completely dry for long periods
• Use a light, airy, free-draining Hoya mix

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%)
• Higher humidity encourages lush, healthy trailing growth
• Good airflow helps keep the fine foliage healthy
• Keep away from hot radiators and very dry air

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength
• Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth slows

🌱 Quick Tips

• Perfect for hanging planters where the long stems can cascade freely
• Avoid repeatedly moving the plant once flower buds begin to form
• Don't remove old flower spurs, as Hoyas may rebloom from them
• Take stem cuttings to propagate and create a fuller plant
