Hoya linearis

Hoya linearis is a flowering plant native to the tropical regions of the Himalayas, particularly found in Nepal and China.

This epiphytic species is characterised by its unique, cylindrical leaves that typically measure between 2.5 to 5 cm in length. It is known for its trailing growth habit, often reaching lengths of up to 1.5 metres, making it a popular choice for hanging displays.

Hoya linearis thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining potting mix, ideally supplemented with perlite or orchid bark. The plant requires moderate watering, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings, and benefits from high humidity levels. Its distinctive waxy flowers bloom during the cooler months, adding to its appeal as a decorative houseplant.

Additionally, it is non-toxic, making it safe for homes with pets and children
