Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrancy of its variegation without scorching the leaves.
This variety is drought-tolerant and prefers its soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is best to err on the side of caution and check the soil moisture before adding more water.
No, the Hoya wayetii is toxic to pets if ingested. We recommend keeping it on a high shelf or in a room that your animals cannot access.
It is well-suited for indoor environments and adapts easily to standard household conditions. Because it is a trailing plant, it looks particularly striking in a hanging basket or on a shelf where its foliage can drape.
Like most Hoyas, this plant prefers a well-draining potting mix. A blend designed for succulents or a mix amended with perlite or orchid bark works best to ensure the roots have proper aeration.
