Description

Hoya meliflua is an epiphytic trailer or climbing plant that can reach lengths up to about 4 meters, but has a strange growing habit as it doesn't twine well and the branches quickly turn hard. It has stiff FLOWulent-like, dark green, and glossy leaves with a very clean look to them. 

The flowers on the Hoya meliflua are pink to reddish-orange and have 5-nectaries near the base of the central column from which a dark-colored sap is produced that drips very easily. The flowers last a long time and they smell like chocolate! It blooms in the spring, summer, and fall on mature plants. The leaves are FLOWulent-like, dark green, and glossy. 

Environment

Easy to grow & don"t require much attention. Hoya do best in filtered light or with lots of artificial light in indoors.

Hoya plants don't ask for much, beyond the well-draining soil and the warm humid conditions ((similar to bromeliads and orchids)

They are epyphite, can be grown in orchid medium or light potting mix with lots of bark conditioner. Hoya like the security of a snug pot, and plants that are a bit root bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot.

This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds .

Landscape Use

It makes a nice hanging basket, but also does really well as a mounted plant

Hoyas are one of the easiest vines to take care of. Their needs are little and in the case of Hoya - less is more!

Hoyas like medium to bright indirect light. It detests direct sunlight and dark corners!

Hoya plants are very sensitive to over watering. To avoid this always keep a Hoya in a pot with a drainage hole. Use well drained soil or coco peat and perlite mix to make sure the excess water gets drained out. Water the Hoya only when the soil is completely dry. If it is moist you can let it be for a couple of days before checking on it again. It is better to under water than over water your Hoya plant!

Don't cut the long tendrils of your Hoya as the leaves and flowers develop from these!
