🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
Bring elegant texture to your home with the Hoya linearis – a rare and graceful trailing houseplant with long, slender foliage that creates a soft, cascading effect. Also known as the Porcelain Flower, it’s a favourite among collectors for its delicate form and gentle, natural beauty.
Native to Eastern Asia and Australia, Hoya linearis thrives in bright, indirect light and, with the right care, produces clusters of small, white, sweetly scented flowers. Its soft, fuzzy stems and linear leaves add beautiful movement when placed on a high shelf or in a hanging planter.
Care Tips:
• Light: Bright, indirect light
• Water: Thoroughly, then allow the top ½ inch of soil to dry before re-watering
• Feed: Fortnightly during spring and summer

Care Instructions
Light
Place in bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning or evening sun can encourage flowering, but avoid prolonged harsh midday sun, which may scorch the leaves.
Water
Water thoroughly, then allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry before watering again. This plant stores moisture in its fleshy leaves and prefers to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during winter.
Food
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a quality liquid houseplant fertiliser. Regular feeding encourages healthy growth, strong roots and more reliable flowering.
Humidity
This plant is happy in average household humidity but appreciates slightly higher humidity where possible. Good air circulation is equally important for healthy growth. Avoid excessive misting.
