Description

Hoya quinquenervia is a climbing or trailing epiphytic plant native to Southeast Asia. Its name means “five-nerved,” referring to the distinct veins visible on each leaf.

  • Leaves: Thick, leathery, oval to elliptic leaves with prominent veining (usually 5 main veins). Leaves are medium green and can develop a slight sheen in good light.

  • Growth habit: Vining and moderately fast-growing when happy. Can trail from a pot or climb a trellis.

  • Flowers: Produces clusters (umbels) of small, star-shaped flowers. Blooms are typically pink to creamy white with a darker center, often fragrant, especially in the evening.

  • Appeal: Loved for its bold leaf texture and classic Hoya flowers.


Care Guide

 Light

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal

  • Can tolerate some gentle morning sun

  • Too little light = slow growth and no blooms

  • Too much direct sun = leaf scorch

 Water

  • Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry

  • Do not keep soil constantly wet

  • Reduce watering in cooler months

  • Hoyas prefer to dry slightly between waterings

 Temperature

  • Ideal range: 18–30°C (65–86°F)

  • Avoid temperatures below 12°C (55°F)

  • Protect from cold drafts

 Humidity

  • Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%)

  • Adapts well to average indoor humidity

  • Higher humidity encourages better growth and flowering

 Soil

  • Needs a very well-draining mix

  • Good options:

    • Orchid bark + perlite + potting soil

    • Coco coir + bark + pumice

  • Roots should never sit in soggy soil

 Fertilizer

  • Feed monthly during spring and summer

  • Use a diluted balanced fertilizer or orchid fertilizer

  • Avoid heavy feeding in winter

    A tracking number will be emailed to you once your order has shipped. You can also find your order and tracking information under your account.

    We will gladly accept returns for a refund, provided the items and plants have not been damaged, propogated, or repotted.
