Hoya Bilobata

Botanical Name: Hoya bilobata Schltr.
Common Name(s): Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower

Description:
The Hoya bilobata is a petite and charming trailing species, loved for its delicate leaves and cascading growth habit. Its foliage is sub-orbicular to elliptic, typically 1.7–2.2 cm long and 1.3–1.8 cm wide, with rounded bases and tips. The leaves are a muted olive green on top, lighter underneath, and sometimes outlined with dark margins, adding extra character.

When conditions are right, Hoya bilobata may produce small clusters of star-shaped blooms, giving plant parents that extra “wow” factor in their collection.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Indirect view of the sky. Thrives in bright, indirect light; can tolerate some dappled light but avoid harsh direct sun.

• Water: Allow soil to reach about 75% dryness between waterings. Consistent overwatering can stress the plant.

• Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable, but slightly higher humidity will encourage better growth and flowering.

• Temperature: Prefers warmth between 65–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.

• Pet Safety: Considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
