Hoya callistophylla – Veined Wax Plant

A collector’s dream, Hoya callistophylla is prized for its large, elongated leaves with striking dark green veins running across a lime-green background. This climbing or trailing Hoya makes a bold statement in any plant collection, and with the right care, it may even reward you with clusters of fragrant star-shaped flowers. A rare and unusual addition for the true Hoya lover.

Plant Care 

Light: This one likes bright, indirect light. Don't try for low-light conditions with this one. Think of an east—or west-facing window. 

Watering: Let the top 1/2 of your plant pot dry out in between waterings. Water sparingly in winter.

Temperature: 18-24°C These plants prefer things on the warmer side but don't let them get below 16°C 

Potting: These plants like a well-draining mix. Our Airy Aroid mix does the trick.

Hot tips: Humidity is key for hoyas, a bright bathroom would be ideal! This plant is a light feeder, so don't go crazy with the fertiliser. Train it up a trellis, moss pole, or let it trail for maximum impact. Hoyas flower best when slightly pot-bound and with consistent bright light.

Pet Friendly: YES
