About Hoya Bella
With over 500 species and even more cultivars, there's a Hoya out there for everyone! They're native to Southeast Asia and their common name, waxplant, refers to their thick, waxy leaves which help them retain water in the heat. They're excellent climbers and will take off if you give them a trellis to grow on. Their other-worldly, star-shaped flowers are often fragrant and come in brilliant shades of red, pink, yellow, and more!

How to fertilize Hoya Bella
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hoya Bella after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

This meme has me 🤣. I imagine this as my plant when I’m looking at it confused as to why they’re struggling and their leaves look so haggard; they’re like, it’s the humidity… duh! Seriously though, it's the remedy for SO. MANY. PLANTS. {Tolerates any humidity level} for tropical plants, especially #Hoyas, is feeling more and more like a lie! "Hoyas are easy, low maintenance plants for first time plant owners." Baahhaahaha... challenge accepted. *Catharina enters... kills her first THREE Hoyas* ✅ So many pebble trays everywhere, check. ✅ Two humidifiers running 24/7, also check. ✅ Hours of research to save ONE two inch plant, so many checks. ✅ Learning, remembering, AND using words I didn't know existed in regular conversation, uhhh... yep! ✅ PlantTok showing up on my husband's TikTok feed because I talk too much about plants, again check!

Fresh leaf Friday! I got some plant mail yesterday that I’m so excited about from #plantproper. HUGE thanks to the Greg team for the gift card thanking me for spending my spring break chatting with everyone on the app about plant care! I loved the extra time off to answer questions and learn more myself in the process about taking care of our plants. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang #greggivesback #HappyPlants #FreshLeafFriday #Hoya #Maranta #HoyaHangout

#Hoya #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict My Hoya obsession is satisfied (for today) 😬 I just received Hoya Sarawak from Canopy Plants. I couldn’t be more pleased. She has beautiful dinner plate leaves that over time will sun stress a pretty reddish blush. She sits on my desk where I can stare at her all day in awe 💕

Best way to propagate my Hoya Obovata? #Hoya #Propagation #Obovata I’ve got one in perlite humidity situation and one in a good mix of potting soil and perlite. I really am just playing it by ear and going with what I’ve seen on reddit but I’m worried im going to kill them. These things are massive and I would love to get them both rooted!

Now I currently have 5 and have a Hoya linearis, Mathilde, Hoya Obovata Splash, Hoya Macrophylla and a Hoya Kentiana currently ordered or already enroute. 😍🫠 I’m hoooooooooked.
