add a pot to fit this plant
Hoya cumingiana is a compact, collectable wax plant with small, fleshy oval leaves and a naturally tidy, climbing habit. It is a brilliant choice if you love hoyas but want something a little less sprawling, it stays neat, looks great on a small hoop or trellis and rewards patience with properly showy blooms.
When it flowers, expect clustered umbels of waxy, star-shaped blooms with a buttery yellow corolla and a deep red centre. Many growers also note a distinctive fragrance, and mature plants can produce a little nectar during flowering.
Give your hoya bright, indirect light and allow the compost to dry most of the way between waterings. A chunky, free-draining mix suits it best. Keep it away from cold draughts and let it warm up in spring and summer, that is when it is most likely to put on growth and set buds.
Nursery pot size: 12cm
Fits decorative pot size: 14cm
