Hoya Motoskei x seedlings

Information

Plant Details & Notes

• Mother Plant: A photo of the mother plant (Hoya motoskei) has been included for reference, as this variety constantly gives me a single seed pod.   I'm happy to share these unique offspring with you!

• Open Pollination: "Open-pollinated" means the pollination was carried out naturally, resulting in unique genetic combinations.   The plant you receive may differ from the mother plant—that's the fun of growing Hoya seedlings!

• Pricing: The price of these seedlings is reflective of their current size.   As they mature and move into bigger containers, the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Key to a Happy Hoya

Hoyas are truly rewarding plants, but they do have a few specific preferences that are important to know! Getting these basics right will ensure your Hoya thrives:

• Light: Hoyas adore bright light!   They really thrive in a spot where they can get plenty of filtered sun.   The more light they receive (without scorching the leaves), the better they flower and the more compact their growth will be.

• Watering: This is the most crucial part! As semi-succulents, they store water in their thick leaves.   Always allow the potting mix to dry out almost completely between waterings. 
  A great tip is the 'flick test': gently flick or bend a leaf edge.   If it's flexible, the plant needs a drink.   If the leaf is stiff and non-bendy, hold off on the water!   Overwatering is the fastest way to lose a Hoya.

• Potting Mix: They must be in a free-draining mix.   Using something airy, potting mix blended with extra pumice, helps prevent root rot and keeps them happy.

• Feeding: Feed regularly during the spring and summer growing season with a diluted liquid fertiliser.   If you want flowers, make sure your fertiliser includes plenty of phosphorus (the 'P' in the NPK ratio).

• Patience: Don't cut off those peduncles (the little woody flower stems)!   Hoyas re-bloom from the same spot, year after year.
