This batch has 2-3 plants per pot! Hoya coronaria is a robust and fast growing climber that has medium sized leaves with revolute margins and pubescent undersides. This particular clone has thick and fleshy yellow flowers which individually can get between 1.25" to 1.5" around. It is classified under the section Eriostemma, which are normally found growing on limestone hills and cliffs, and quartz ridges. We recommend adding crushed oyster shell to the soil mix, and providing a good amount of direct sun in order to produce blooms. The name of this Hoya comes from the Latin word coronaria- meaning garlanding, forming a crown.
~Do Not let Hoya sit in excess water. As epiphytes, in the wild they would be growing on tree trunks or branches in the forest understory where they would get most of their water just from dew or moisture in the air.
~Hoya are considerably hardy & tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, but for the best growth it is recommended to provide higher levels of humidity.
~Do Not remove the peduncles [flower stalks] after your Hoya has finished flowering. Hoya are able to rebloom again & again from the same peduncle!
~Feed regularly during the growing season with a low nitrogen fertilizer containing sufficient amounts of phosphorous and potassium.
