Whether you're expanding your Hoya collection or looking for a unique statement plant, Hoya Crassipetiolata is a beautiful addition to any indoor plant collection.

Why Collectors Love It

Hoya Crassipetiolata is especially appealing to Hoya collectors because of its unique foliage and climbing growth habit. As the plant matures, it can develop longer vines and, with the right conditions, reward you with fragrant Hoya blooms.

Its 6" hoop also makes it an instant display piece while giving the vines a natural structure to grow around. Hoyas are known for being long lived plants, making them wonderful additions to a growing collection.

Light

Bright, indirect light is best.

Hoya Crassipetiolata can tolerate some gentle morning or evening sunlight, but avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. A bright window with filtered light or a spot a few feet away from a sunny window can work beautifully.

More consistent bright light can also encourage healthy growth and flowering.

Watering

Allow the potting mix to partially dry between waterings.

Water thoroughly when the top portion of the soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. Avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water, as consistently wet soil can lead to root problems.

Hoyas generally prefer being slightly on the dry side rather than constantly wet.

Soil

Use a chunky, well draining and breathable soil mix that allows excess moisture to escape quickly.

A mix designed for Hoyas, epiphytes, or tropical plants is ideal. Adding materials such as orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir can help create the airy conditions Hoya roots appreciate.

Humidity

Hoya Crassipetiolata appreciates moderate to higher humidity.

Average household humidity can work, but providing additional humidity can encourage healthy foliage and growth. Keep the plant away from cold drafts, heating vents, and sudden temperature changes.

Temperature

Keep your Hoya in a warm indoor environment.

Ideal temperatures are generally around 65°F to 85°F. Protect it from temperatures below 50°F and from cold drafts.

Feeding

Feed during the active growing season with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

Fertilize approximately once a month during spring and summer, following the fertilizer's recommended dilution. Reduce feeding during fall and winter when growth naturally slows.

Flowering

With maturity and proper care, Hoya Crassipetiolata may produce beautiful clusters of fragrant flowers.

Give your Hoya plenty of bright, indirect light and avoid constantly moving it once it has established a comfortable growing location. Hoyas can take time to mature and flower, so patience is part of the fun!
