Hoya pubicalyx (Wax Plant)

Hoya pubicalyx

Hoya pubicalyx is a vigorous vining plant with deep green lanceolate leaves, eager to climb up a trellis or cascade gracefully over the sides of its pot.  Its leaves are often mottled with flecks of silvery variegation, and depending on how much light it receives, the stems can take on shades of purple.  

Once a Hoya starts to put on flower buds do not disturb it, and after it has bloomed don't remove the spent flowers. Allow the dead flowers to fall off on their own.  This interesting plant doesn't like to be repotted unless it's absolutely necessary. 

• Light: Indirect Sunlight – This plant needs at least some natural light so place it somewhere with windows nearby.
• Water:  Not Thirsty – This plant can go several weeks without water so only water it when the soil completely dries out.  
• Tips: This plant needs well-draining soil.
