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!

Inhertied this plant form my mother. It’s 45 yrs old, I’m finding some leaves yellowing and dropping, some have white spots I have never seen. It never flowered until the last 5yrs. Made me very happy ! But It hasn’t been repotted at least 15 yrs #Hoya

Calling all Hoya lovers 💚 I’m looking to add a new Hoya to my collection and was hoping for some input from you guys. I can’t pick between the Hoya Krohania Super Silver or the Mathilda Splash. (I’m digging the speckles right now) I need an easy going & easy growing plant. Light isn’t an issue but I’m constantly battling humidity since I live in the desert. Anyway, any info or suggestions are welcome!! #HoyaHeads #HoyaHangout #Hoya #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #GregGang #PLANTMAFIA

Trellis Suggestions? I’m looking for a bigger circular trellis for this one and not having much luck. Love this thing and I’m not complaining how full it is getting, but any suggestions on where to find a decent one with a diameter of 16”+ would be greatly appreciated! #HappyPlants #TrellisAddict #Hoya
