Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its health and encourage growth. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water only when the growing medium has dried out completely. Because it is a Hoya, it prefers to dry down between waterings rather than sitting in consistently damp soil.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, or other curious animals.
It is recommended to wait at least one week after arrival before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to your home's specific environment and reduces transplant shock.
The Hoya Sulawesiana performs best in temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Keep it away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like vents to maintain this range.
This is a vining plant with a medium growth rate. As it matures, you can expect it to trail or climb, making it a great candidate for hanging baskets or a trellis.
