Description How to Grow Delivery

This cute little Hoya heart is the perfect Valentine’s gift for someone you love. Hoya carnosa is a vigorous evergreen vine with thick, leathery leaves that bears globular umbels of unusual, waxy, sweetly-scented flowers. The flowers unfold like little origami parcels, opening out into starry, five-petalled, porcelain-like white or pink blooms, intricately detailed with a tiny red eye. The blooms are night-scented and frequently form drops of glistening sweet nectar. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Maximum height: 120cm (47in). Spread: 100cm (39in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Place Hoya carnosa in a very bright spot to encourage blooming, but avoid all day sunlight as this may scorch the leaves. Direct early morning or evening sunlight is ideal. Keep at 18-24C and avoid draughts. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between watering, then water deeply and allow to drain thoroughly. Avoid overwatering, especially in winter. Hoya enjoys humidity such as that found in a kitchen or bathroom.
