Cultural
information: There are over 200 species of this easy
care plant distributed across the world. It's one of the few house
plants that will bloom for you. Their flowers will last 30 days or
more. At the center of each flower is a drop of honeydew that is
very sweet tasting.
Place your Hoya in bright filtered light. Since the "Wax
Plant" is a succulent type plant... water it every 9 - 14
days or when the soil is dry to the touch. Feed your Hoya
bi-monthly with a balanced plant food such as Peter's Plant Food.
You can find Hoya's in a variety of smaller pot sizes along with
hanging baskets.
