Hoya gracillis (Pet Friendly)

$20.00

Hoya gracilis make excellent plants for hanging as they have a more tender and less rigid leaf than most Hoyas. What also makes them interesting is the blushing and variations of colors that the leaves can display, ranging from light green to deep burgundies. Their bloom color is a deep krimson/burgundy. 

Hoya grow best in bright, indirect light. Water only when the soil is completely dry as hoyas prefer a good wet/dry cycle and do not like being consistently moist. Hoyas also prefer to be “pot-bound” so only repot when necessary and pot in a tight pot, only slightly large in size to the one it is currently in. Plant in well-draining potting soil with added perlite and bark for good drainage. 

Native to tropical/sub-tropical regions in Eastern Asia and Australia, hoya are considered a semi-epiphytic plant, meaning they begin their lives with roots in the soil, then use adventitious roots along their stems to climb nearby trees, anchoring for support along the way. 

BONUS: Hoyas are pet friendly and have fragrant flowers!
