RE: All hail the Hoya.

in #hoya7 years ago

Hoyas are beloved & easy care houseplants. They come in a wide array of foliage colors, textures, patterns, shapes & sizes.
Some many beloved Hoyas, so little room! There are over 200 species of Hoyas out there with a diverse array of foliage color and shape as well as flower color and form. These tropical plants, many of them epiphytic succulents, are vines and some are shrubs. All of them so very interesting in my book. I grow my Hoyas outdoors here in Santa Barbara but I’m giving care tips for them indoors too because they always have been and are now ever popular houseplants.

I love their fleshy, glossy leaves and their unique waxy flowers. I remember seeing quite a few of these twining plants in homes and greenhouses growing up In New England. Many of them were in hanging baskets and we had one that had trails which were at least 6′ long. Exotic as they are, they’re not hard to care for at all.
