Know before you buy
Yes, this hybrid is considered an excellent choice for beginners. It is known for being vigorous and easy to cultivate, making it a forgiving plant for those just starting their collection.
This plant prefers partial sun. Placing it in a spot with bright, indirect light will help it maintain its lush, waxy foliage and encourage healthy growth.
It blooms intermittently rather than on a strict schedule. Once the plant reaches maturity, you can expect charming white and purple flowers to appear on and off throughout the year.
The Hoya ‘Iris Marie’ has a fast-growing vining habit and typically reaches a mature height of up to 2 feet. Because of its vining nature, it works well in hanging baskets or on shelves where the stems have room to trail.
Keep this plant in a room that stays at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It also prefers medium humidity levels, so it will be happiest in a standard home environment away from cold drafts.
