Hoya lacunosa

This enchanting wax plant is celebrated for its vigorous climbing habit and exceptional flowering performance, making it a prized addition to any tropical plant collection.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some morning sun, but avoid harsh direct sunlight which can scorch the waxy leaves and reduce flowering potential.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures should range between 18-26°C (65-79°F), with slightly cooler nights at 16-21°C (60-70°F) to encourage blooming cycles.
• Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity, ideally between 50-70%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues while maintaining the health of both foliage and delicate flower clusters.
• Watering: Allow the growing medium to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.

Additional Notes

• Plant Characteristics: Features distinctive heart-shaped, succulent-like leaves with prominent indented veining that creates a unique textured appearance. The climbing vines can be trained on supports or allowed to trail. It produces spectacular star-shaped umbels of hairy flowers and emits a sweet, honey-like fragrance, especially at night.
