The Hoya Linearis features unique linear-shaped leaves in light green colour. Sometimes called also wax plant is a must-have for any plant lover!

This houseplant is not only visually appealing but also easy to care for. Will be a perfect match for a workplace, school or a person who travels a lot and leave their plants unattended for a longer period of time. The Hoya Linearis thrives in a very bright environment, but it can tolerate moderate levels of indirect sunlight as well as direct early morning or early afternoon direct light.

Hoya Linearis plants should be treated semi-succulent, do not overwater and provide lots of bright sunlight. Roots of hoya plants are very sensitive t overwatering and would be rather neglected.

There are over 300 known species of Hoya which exhibit a wide range of characteristics, including variations in leaf shape, flower colour and scent. The name Hoya was given to this genus in honour of 18th-century botanist and gardener Thomas Hoy who was employed at the Duke of Northumberland’s in England.

 

Pet Friendly

How often should I water my Hoya Linearis?
Water the plant sparingly, allowing the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can harm the sensitive roots, so it’s better to err on the side of dryness.
Is the Hoya Linearis suitable for offices or homes with low natural light?
While it prefers bright, indirect sunlight, it can tolerate medium light levels. It’s ideal for spaces with some natural light, such as near a window with sheer curtains.
Can I place my Hoya Linearis in a bathroom?
Yes, this plant can thrive in a bathroom environment as long as it receives sufficient indirect sunlight. The high humidity typical of bathrooms is also beneficial for its growth.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Linearis thrives in bright environments but tolerates moderate indirect sunlight well. It particularly enjoys the gentle rays of early morning or late afternoon sun. Ensure it gets enough light to maintain its vibrant leaf colour and growth.

💧 Water

💧▫️▫️ (Low)
As a semi-succulent, the Hoya Linearis prefers to be on the drier side. Let the topsoil dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be cautious not to let it sit in waterlogged soil.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Hoya Linearis enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C. Avoid placing your plant near drafts or drastic temperature changes to keep it happy and healthy.

💦 Humidity

💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant does well in moderate humidity but will tolerate the average humidity levels of most homes. No need for a humidifier, but a misting now and then can help it thrive.

🪴 Repotting

Consider repotting your Hoya Linearis every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally formulated for succulents, to ensure healthy growth and prevent waterlogging.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

Great news for pet owners! The Hoya Linearis is pet-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about placing it within reach of your furry friends.

✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

This plant is perfect for bright spots away from direct sunlight such as shelves, desks, or hanging near windows. Its trailing nature makes it a beautiful addition to high shelves or ceiling hooks where its vines can cascade gracefully.

✨ Other Plant Features

The Hoya Linearis is not only an attractive plant but also quite resilient, making it suitable for those who might not be able to tend to their plants daily. Its charming appearance and low-maintenance needs make it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.
