Description

Hailing from Borneo, Hoya latifolia 'Variegata' is a member of the Apocynaceae family, boasting an epiphytic growth habit - climbing with its roots. Its leaves have a distinctive broad ovate shape with a light cream border, sometimes with a blush of pink. When exposed to bright indirect light, a vivid rosiness is observed; the blooms are a whitish colour with pink tips.

Hoyas are very easy to look after, pop them in some bright morning sun. Keep them in a chunky soil mix and water once dried out. They may be low-maintenance, but you'll get high-impact results. Give them a bit of sunshine and soil, and you'll have stunning houseplants that will be the envy of your friends!

Care instructions

Light: thrives in bright, indirect light, and will benefit from a splash of morning or evening sun. Make sure it gets 1-2 hours of direct sunlight in autumn and winter, throughout its dormant period. Water: allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waters, and reduce watering in winter and in dimmer spots. Make sure you don't leave any water sitting in the foliage (or flowers) as this can cause damage. Humidity: used to a rainforest environment, this plant likes it humid. Introduce a humidity tray if possible, and hose down the leaves regularly to keep them free of dust. If the leaves start to brown and curl, this is a sign that the air is too dry. Soil: use an anthurium mix and repot every three years in spring as the plant grows. If it's flowering, keep it pot-bound a little longer to prevent it getting shocked by the move and losing flowers. Food: feed every four waters throughout the year. To tailor your feeding even more, look for a nitrogen-heavy fertiliser when the foliage needs to develop more, and to encourage flowers once it's mature look for one with higher potassium (k) content, like tomato feed. Temperature: ideal temperature is between 15-30 degree c. Make sure it does not get colder than 10 degree c in winter. Pet-safe: yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant! Sprouts top tips: while this plant likes it humid, it does not like soggy soil- make sure not to over-water it. Keep an eye out for yellowing leaves, especially those closer to the soil, to spot this early and reduce the frequency of your waters before the roots are damaged.
