Characteristic:
Hoja (Hoya R.Br.) – a kind of plants from the toin family (apocynaceae). It includes at least 533 species of vines or low bushes. These plants occur in Southeast Asia. Numerous species are strongly associated with ants – creating modified leaves or thickening on shoots inhabited by these insects, but also rooted in anthills created in the holes of trees.
You can train a hoya plant as a vine or allow it to trail. Either way, expect the full length or height of the plant to be 2 to 4 feet. Hoyas require bright, indirect sunlight for up to six hours daily and moist, well-draining soil that should dry out between waterings.
Typical room temperature is appropriate for these plants, but you may need to supplement humidity.
Place your hoya plant in a hanging basket or allow it to cling to a small trellis.
Hoya flowers grow in a ball-shaped cluster or umbrel, similar to mophead hydrangeas. Each cluster may contain up to 40 individual flowers packed tightly together. The individual flowers look perfect as if molded from wax or porcelain, thus their common names. Flowers often sport a colored eye in the center of the corona. The flowers have a sweet smell, varying from vanilla to citrus.
