- Hoya Curtisii is a delightful trailing houseplant with densely packed small green leaves. The leaves are blade-shaped and filled with interesting silver-blue variegated speckles. Hoya Curtisiiare, native to the tropical Southeast Asia region, is one of the easiest to care for plants.
Hoya Curtisii has greyish trailing vines that spread freely and can reach up to 20" in length. This plant grows smaller than some other Hoyas and does not take much space. It looks perfect for both tall planters and hanging baskets.
Hoya Curtisii has light pink flowers with a citrus smell. Direct sunlight can encourage blooming.
- Hoya Curtisii needs a lot of bright indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct morning sun, but the afternoon scorching sun might burn its leaves. If grown indoors, put it near a bright, sunny window where it can enjoy some hours of the morning sun and some shade in the afternoon.
This plant is slightly drought-tolerant and does not need frequent watering. Check the soil weekly and water only when the soil is almost dry. Soggy wet soil can cause root rot. Reduce watering in the winter. Ensure a medium humidity level (around 50-60%) using misting, pebble trays, and humidifiers.
Hoya Curtisii prefers well-drained, porous potting soil.
Hoya thrives in temperatures of 60°F-80°F. It is vital to ensure the room temperature does not fall below 50°F.
Hoya should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer)with diluted houseplant fertilizer once a month.
Hoya Curtisii is generally non-toxic, but it is still recommended that you keep this plant out of reach of pets and children as their trailing vines are fragile.
