Hoya callistophylla
Are you looking for something unique to add a little extra flair to your living space? Then the Hoya callistophylla is perfect for you! Large, elongated, green leaves with dark green veining running throughout in a tribal pattern is how we would describe this Hoya. This wax plant brings texture, style, and a hint of sophistication to your indoor garden with its longer leaves, making it the perfect plant for any plant-lover looking to add a little character.
Note: If your Hoya grows long tendrils, do not cut them! If the tendril finds a spot to grip to, and with enough light, it can develop leaves along the length. Wrap the tendril around a trellis to help your plant develop these leaves.
Pet lovers will be happy to know that these plants are non-toxic. But please don't let cute little Noonoo nibble these beautiful leaves!
Note: Plants are unique! The plant pictured is meant to give you an idea of the specification and quality of the plant you will receive, but will not be an exact replica.

Light Requirements
Light Requirements
Bright indirect
In their natural habitat, hoyas are often shaded by taller plants/trees. Therefore, bright indirect light is best. Although hoyas can be sunstressed by exposing the plant to more sunlight than necessary (sunstressing can result in beautiful reddish leaf colours), direct light that is too intense, can cause burning and fading of leaves. Low light can result in darker leaves.
Water Requirements
Water Requirements
Moderate
In general, it is better to wait a day if you are unsure whether to water your hoya. Water when the top half of soil is dry. Consider watering less during the winter season. Note: Be sure not to let the plant sit in pooled water as that can cause root rot.
Received my box and was overall excited about the beautiful leaves, but disappointed it it’s over all health, the stalks are completely dried out which will affect the growth on my plant do to the size of the small 4’’ pot I ordered. -
Especially for the cost of this plant,
But this review is not a review on any other product I have received.
