A deluge of soft, velvety tendrils makes the Linear Porcelain Plant another trailing triumph for the Hoya. This living waterfall of jungle foliage is created from trailing lengths of long stems, amassed with needle-like leaves as it calmly cascades from its source. Creamy blossoms finish the look, giving those bright open spaces with high ceilings an impactful contemporary tone.
Hoya linearis – Linear Porcelain Plant Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Ditch the drought! If you have noticed the leaves of your plant have started to shrivel, your plant is dry and thirsty. Refresh and rejuvenate with some water.
Hang out somewhere humid! Have you noticed rapid leaf loss? The plant is in thermal shock from cold temperatures. Keep away from cold locations and draughts.
Bring on the Blooms! This plant needs heat, humidity and very bright light to flower. A bathroom with a southern exposure is the winner.
Light
Needs very bright, indirect light. All day sunlight will scorch the leaves. Will benefit from some early morning or late afternoon sunshine. Can cope in light shade but unlikely to bloom. Does well under artificial light making it ideal for office environments.
Watering
Hoya are succulents and store water. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between watering, then water deeply and allow to drain thoroughly. Do not over-water, as too much water will kill the plant. Water sparingly in winter.
Temperature
Happy in room temperatures from 18-24°C. Avoid draughts and extreme temperatures. Prefers to be kept warm (above 16°C).
Humidity
Prefers higher levels of humidity. Ideal in bathrooms and kitchens.
Feed
Apply a weak general-purpose fertiliser during the summer.
Height & Growth Rate
Fast growing. Expect trails up to 2m indoors. Prune in spring to maintain desired length.
Toxicity
Sap contains latex which is a skin irritant and is considered toxic, therefore keep away from children and animals.
Origin
Hoya linearis originates from Eastern Asia and Australia.
