Hoya Shepherdii (7.5″) Hanging Basket

Shepherdii are easily recognizable by their long slender bean like leafs. Hoya Longifolia (Shepherdii) is a great fit for hanging baskets or on the edge of a shelf that allows the Hoya to trail. Shepherdii leaves can grow past 6′ in length and can be cut to encourage back-branching and thicker growth near the soil.

Hoyas’ have exceptional tolerance for neglect. The easy-to-care Hoya australis is excellent for any indoor space and does not require lots of water or maintenance. Choose a well-aerated, well-draining potting mixture and provide lots of sunlight during the active growing season.

Water: Low to medium. Drought tolerant plants. Water when the top 1-2” of soil are dry.

Sunlight:  Medium to bright, indirect light. Will tolerate low light. When placed in brighter light, the foliage will be more vibrant and it will produce more flowers.

Placement. Hoyas like to settle into a spot, so don’t be quick to move them. You can train your Hoyas to grow up a pole or some other support if you’d like vertical appeal.

Pets & Kids: Pet friendly!
