🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
Hoya linearis is a beautiful trailing houseplant with long, slender stems covered in soft, narrow green leaves. Its fine foliage creates an elegant, cascading effect, making it especially striking in a hanging planter or displayed on a high shelf.
Native to the Himalayan region, Hoya linearis is one of the most distinctive members of the Hoya family. With the right conditions, mature plants can produce clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers with a sweet fragrance.

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.
