Silver Rose Satin Money Plant,6 inch

Description

Hoya plant – climbing, clambering, creeping, or wax-stemmed plant with a thick wax leaf makes an excellent houseplant. Known as the “Hindu rope plant”, “wax plant” or “wax flower plant”, Hoya has been enjoyed for decades, perhaps because fanciers enjoy their easy going as a house plant indoor dispositions. Their wheel-like clusters of waxy or porcelain flowers with stars in their crowns, are sometimes deliciously fragnant although I think the garden plant beats the Hoya for fragrance. Native to southern India, highly prized, and the subject of legend. You’ll find Hoyas throughout eastern Asia to Australia and classified botanically in the Asclepias (milkweed) family. Hoya Light Requirements – Although the plants do not require direct light, they would not do well away from a window, unless you prefer to grow under them. Supply all but the hottest sun. Soil – a moist, well-drained, light soil. Fertilizer – In spring hoyas react favorably to feeding. Give them fertilizer 4 times a year. Bloom- Blooms appear in spring and summer when the plant is most active. Lack of water or too much fertilizer will cause foliage to brown around the edges and perhaps leaves will drop.
