The Obovata Hoya, or the Blue Mountain Hoya, is a species of tree endemic to the Philippines. It is the worlds smallest and rarest known hoya tree. The Obovata Hoya grows up to 2 m tall and has bluegreen leaves that are 18 cm wide and 10 cm long.
Hoya plants are generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets, making them safer options for households with animals or small children.
Light: They thrive in bright, indirect light. Some varieties can tolerate a bit of direct sunlight, especially morning sunlight, but harsh sun can damage the leaves.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Hoya plants prefer well-draining soil and are sensitive to overwatering.
Temperature: They generally prefer average room temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures.
Humidity: Hoya plants can handle normal indoor humidity levels, but they appreciate slightly higher humidity. Misting can be beneficial, especially in drier environments.
Maintenance:
Pruning: Prune to control the plant's size or encourage branching and fuller growth.
Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes root-bound, usually every 1-2 years, using a well-draining potting mix.
Support: Some Hoya varieties are climbing vines that benefit from supports like trellises or stakes.
Different Species and Cultivars: There's a wide variety of Hoya species and cultivars available. Some popular ones include Hoya carnosa, Hoya kerrii (Heart-leaf Hoya), Hoya linearis, Hoya obovata, and Hoya pubicalyx.
Foliage: Hoya plants feature thick, succulent-like leaves that are often glossy and have various shapes and sizes, depending on the species or variety. Some have variegated foliage, adding to their ornamental value.
Flowers: Hoya plants produce clusters of star-shaped flowers that are waxy and fragrant. These blooms can come in different colors, such as white, pink, red, or yellow, depending on the species.
