Each Hoya Pubicalyx Silver Variegated Wax Plant we send has a full top and usually a start of a runner.
• Container growing: Yes
• Fertilizer: Liquid fertilizer once a month during growing season and half strength or none during the winter.
• Light: As much as possible of very bright indirect light or even dappled sunlight. Some direct sun in early morning or later afternoon may be beneficial in helping the Hoya flower.
• Soil: Super well-draining soil with good air circulation. A very loose cactus mix paired with a little orchid bark is ideal.
• Zones: 9-11 if grown outside. Semi-tropical.
• Water: In the warmth of Summer it can be watered freely as long as the soil continues to be aerated. Let it dry out somewhat but not completely between watering when temperatures are cool.
