It can be grown anywhere indoors in hanging baskets or outdoor on your lawn. The Latin name for this plant is Hoya Heuschkeliana Variegata. Hoya Heuschkeliana belongs to the family of Apocynaceae. This adorable species grows small green leaves on cascading branches with several clusters of flowers during the warmer months. Hoya Heuschkeliana is a fast grower and a resilient plant.
Hoyas should be fertilized monthly; The International Hoya Association suggests feeding them with a fertilizer that includes nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
A well-draining, lightweight soil mix is what hoyas should be planted in. Too much moisture and the roots will rot.
When your hoya plant finishes blooming, leave the flower stalk, as it may produce new flowers. Removing the stalk forces the plant to produce a new stalk, which delays blooming and wastes the plant’s energy. Hoyas are light feeders, and a monthly drink of compost tea or dilute fish emulsion provides all the nutrition these tropicals need.
Hoyas like the security of a snug pot and plants that are a bit root-bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot. Hoyas don’t like wet feet or heavy soil, and as many grow as epiphytes in nature (similar to bromeliads and orchids).
