Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to keep its variegation vibrant. If placed in a low-light corner, the leaves may lose their unique coloring and revert to a solid green.
No, the Hoya Kentiana Variegated is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious pets.
The best way to gauge watering is to check the soil moisture. Wait until the soil feels dry to the touch, which typically aligns with a weekly watering schedule in most indoor environments.
We recommend waiting at least one week after delivery before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific light and temperature conditions, reducing transplant shock.
While many tropical plants prefer extra humidity, the Hoya Kentiana is quite adaptable to standard household humidity levels. It will be perfectly happy as long as it stays within the 65-85°F temperature range.
Yes, this is a flowering variety. With proper care and sufficient bright light, it is capable of producing clusters of small, fragrant, star-shaped blooms.
