Know before you buy
This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Allow the top few inches of soil to feel completely dry before providing a thorough soak.
To encourage those fuzzy white blooms, place your plant in a spot that receives bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light, it will grow more slowly and is less likely to flower.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a hanging basket or on a high shelf out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
Not at all. The Hoya 'Lacunosa' is quite adaptable and actually tolerates dry air well, making it an excellent choice for homes that don't have a dedicated humidifier.
You can expect blooms from spring through fall. The flowers emit a distinct, rich cinnamon fragrance that is most noticeable in the evening hours.
