The Hoya retusa is a unique and charismatic species known for its distinct thin, flattened foliage that resembles blades of grass. Unlike the typical succulent leaves of most Hoyas, this variety features star-shaped white flowers with a purple center, making it a favorite for collectors looking for something unconventional.
Quick Care
Placement: Bright, indirect light; east or west-facing windows are ideal.
Light: Prefers bright light to encourage blooming but avoid harsh, direct midday sun.
Water: Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings; do not overwater.
Soil: Well-draining, chunky orchid bark or perlite-heavy mix.
Temp: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F and 85°F.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average home levels.
Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season.
About This Plant
Native to India, Hoya retusa stands out due to its lanky, slender stems and small, rectangular-tipped leaves. It is a slow grower that creates a stunning "messy hair" look when trailing from a hanging basket. When happy, it produces highly fragrant, solitary blooms.
Tips
Ensure your Hoya retusa has excellent airflow, as its dense, thin foliage can be prone to moisture retention. For more tips follow us on Instagram @hiddenseedco
