Hoya is a luxurious tropical liana with a lush, spreading crown. In nature, it forms 10-meter vines, and indoors, the length of the shoots does not exceed 5-6 meters.
A characteristic feature is fleshy glossy leaves, as if covered with wax. Therefore, hoya is popularly known as wax ivy.

How to care for.
In order for wax ivy to feel good, it is necessary to create conditions for it close to the tropics:
Temperature.
During the growing season, the optimal temperature for the exotic is 20-25 ° C, in autumn and winter it is maintained at 15-18 ° C. At a temperature of less than 10 degrees, the plant dies.

Lighting.
Direct sunlight can cause leaf burns, and with a lack of light, the plant loses its decorative appearance. Therefore, the lighting should be bright, but diffused. It is best to place the flower on the eastern or western window. It does not like rearrangements.
Watering.
The liana should be watered moderately, as the soil dries out. Usually, watering is done 1-2 times a week in summer, and once a month in winter.
Humidity does not play an important role for the flower, but in very dry air it is recommended to spray the leaves or place the pot in a tray filled with wet expanded clay.
