Hoya linearis Wax Plant
Hoya linearis is an elegant and unusual trailing houseplant with slender, soft green leaves that gently cascade over the edges of pots and hanging baskets. Unlike other Hoyas, its leaves are narrow and slightly fuzzy, giving it a unique texture and soft appearance. With time and care, this plant can produce clusters of fragrant white star-shaped flowers.
This plant thrives with neglect, making it perfect for busy plant lovers. It stores water in its leaves and doesn’t mind if you occasionally forget to water it. A slow grower, but incredibly rewarding when mature.

- How often should I water my Hoya Linearis?
- Water the plant once the soil has fully dried out, typically every 1-2 weeks, depending on environmental conditions. Overwatering can harm the plant, so ensure the topsoil is dry before watering again.
- Is the Hoya Linearis suitable for beginners?
- Absolutely! This plant is known for its low maintenance and forgiving nature, making it ideal for those new to houseplants. It requires minimal care and can tolerate occasional neglect.
- Can the Hoya Linearis be used in terrariums or only hanging baskets?
- While typically grown in hanging baskets due to its trailing growth, the Hoya Linearis can also be a beautiful addition to large, open terrariums that receive plenty of indirect light and have adequate air circulation.
☀️ Light
Scale: ☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Linearis thrives in bright, indirect light but can handle a bit of direct sunlight too. Ideal placement is near a window where the sun’s rays are filtered through a sheer curtain.
💧 Water
Scale: 💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This plant prefers to stay on the drier side, so be cautious not to overwater.
💧️ Temperature
Scale: 💧️💧️▫️ (Average)
Hoya Linearis enjoys typical indoor temperatures but doesn’t fare well in cold drafts. Keep it in a room that’s consistently between 15°C and 25°C.
💦 Humidity

While it can tolerate average home humidity levels, it benefits from a boost in humidity. Consider placing it in a kitchen or bathroom if these rooms receive sufficient light.
