About Hoya pottsii 'Khao Yai'
With over 500 species and even more cultivars, there's a Hoya out there for everyone! They're native to Southeast Asia and their common name, waxplant, refers to their thick, waxy leaves which help them retain water in the heat. They're excellent climbers and will take off if you give them a trellis to grow on. Their other-worldly, star-shaped flowers are often fragrant and come in brilliant shades of red, pink, yellow, and more!

Finding light for Hoya pottsii 'Khao Yai' in your home

a window
Hoya pottsii 'Khao Yai' may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Hoya pottsii 'Khao Yai' in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Hoya pottsii 'Khao Yai'

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hoya pottsii 'Khao Yai' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I AM GREIVING, but the Greg community is truly outstanding! ❤️🩹❣️ Yesterday my world broke down, my plants were infested with THRIPS, I wouldn’t have known had it not been for the awesome people on here helping me through this as I had a complete mental breakdown, I lost about 15 plants yesterday, either to far gone, not worth putting into treatment or because of straight up DEATH. PLANTS ARE NOW IN THE ICU , updates to come. ***Also Garfield is now aswell in the ICU I will update everyone how he’s doing, his family is really concerned for him especially Jon.*** I had some awesome support from the folks on here and I can’t thank this community enough for the all help I’ve had, updates to come, as of now I have one tradescantia I think is safe, and also I have some Hoya cuttings that were with the tradescantia that I think might be safe, I will keep treating them with the insecticidal soap for now. Tomorrow I’m getting the end-all spray I’m hoping with this stuff and consistent use am and pm I can possibly save the remaining of my children. 😭❤️🩹😞 Big thank you for the help , shout out to @elisenavidad and @stephonicle ✨ without both you’re help I probably wouldn’t have noticed until it was WAY TO LATE. I have some experience with plants but never had much experience with thrips myself as an adult! New worst enemy. #thrips #thripsbegone #louisxvioasis #PestControl #plantICU #TradescantiaNanouk #Hoya #garfield UPDATE: the plant that infested my oasis was bought off market place on Facebook by a seller I thought I could trust I bought multiple syngoniums from them and they had my contact information, then did realize recently they had pest and didn’t contact me or inform me until I asked about it because the worst plant came from them. Please please please, Isolate your plants before integrating into your collection I can’t stress this enough it was my biggest mistake in this situation, even if you think you are clear always treat and isolate until you are CERTAIN.

#PonRocks created for q&a for users of #pon substrate to share info and experiences. I’ll start: > 120 🪴 in #semihydro all with pon layer and wicks and many using all pon. Example is #ThaiConstellation #ThaiConstellationMonstera pictured below. Took straight to pon when purchased had about 4 little leaves. Less than a year later it’s growing like a weed and drains reservoir more quickly than any other plant I have. (Actually have two ThaiCons in same setups with same results.) Third pic is #billietiae #PhilodendronBillietiae also in straight pon. Started as nearly dead root rotted full hydro setup from big box store. Growing like gangbusters in straight pon. Adding some friends to help spread the word for those interested. @TheConservator @RJG @HoyaObsessed #HappyPlants @GregGang @Greggers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantMAFIA #HoyaHeads #Hoya #Monstera #Alocasia #TheThread

I have been blessed with plants this year! Yesterday (June 13) was my birthday, and my bestie @theloveofplants sent me TWO big boxes of plants! One was delivered yesterday and one is still en route. Pics 2-5 are only a few of the beauties she gave me, and omg. I’m so grateful and happy to have these lovelies! I can’t even pick a favorite, and I can’t believe I still have another box of plant goodness to look forward to! Thank you so much, Rachael 💕🪴🥰👯♀️🎁🫶🏻 You’re seriously the greatest 🥹💖 The first picture is a gift from one of my coworkers whom I’ve infected with the plant-obsession bug! I had never even heard of a #BaseballCactus / #BaseballPlant before, but wow is it cool! It was really a happy birthday 🥰💕😇🌵🪴🌿 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantsAreTheBestGift #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #PlantHaul #CactusClique #SucculentSquad #Succulents #WhatTheSuccWednesday #babevila #stringsofthings #RubyNecklace #BabySunRose #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #Hoya #HoyaHangout #Greggers
