How to care for Hoya linearis:
Hoya linearis is a trailing, epiphytic plant that thrives in bright, indirect light and warm, humid conditions. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as it doesn’t like to sit in water, and use a well-draining mix such as cactus or orchid compost.
Wax flower prefers temperatures between 18-25°C (65-77°F) during the growing season, and it should not be exposed to temperatures below 10?°C (50?°F) to avoid cold damage.
Feed lightly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser. It benefits from occasional misting or a humidity tray, especially in drier indoor environments. Reduce watering during the winter months.
Please note: all our indoor hanging pots include drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend taking them down to water in the sinkor on a saucer, and leaving them to drain before rehanging.
