HOYA

AKA:  Wax plant, Wax Flower plant

LIGHT:  I enjoy lots and lots of bright light and some direct sun.  Morning sun is okay.  Some of my family members enjoy more afternoon sun than others.

WATER:  I prefer to dry out completely between watering.  I don’t like to be overwatered so it’s okay to let me get a little parched sometimes.  I’m well hydrated when my leaves are firm and I’m thirsty when my leaves are flimsy and wrinkled.

HUMIDITY:  I like the heat and humidity.

UNIQUE TRAITS:  My tendrils will grow leaves and flowers so please don’t cut them.  If I get unruly, you can grow my tendrils on a trellis.  I’m okay growing without a lot of room for my roots.
