Hoya sulawesiana Red at a glance

Why plant shops stock it

In the wild it vines up large trees in humid forest. The thick leaves store water, so it needs watering less often than thin-leaved plants. See also the green form.

How we pack it

Plants are cleaned, treated against pests at the quarantine office and packed bare-root in sphagnum moss, or in tissue for countries that do not accept moss, inside ventilated boxes.

Care after arrival

• Potting: pot it within a day of arrival in a chunky, fast-draining mix of bark, perlite and a little coco or moss.
• Light: bright, indirect light; more light, short of direct midday sun, encourages flowering.
• Water: let the mix dry most of the way between waterings. The thick leaves store water, so underwatering is safer than overwatering.
• Humidity: it grows well at average room humidity and faster above 60%.
• Support: let it trail from a basket or train it on a hoop or trellis.
