{"product_id":"hoya-eskimo-4-inch-pot","title":"Hoya Eskimo, 4-Inch Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoya Eskimo pairs pointed, waxy green leaves with irregular silvery splashes, giving every vine its own pattern. Slender stems spill gently over the pot edge or can be guided onto a small support. Set it in a bright indoor spot where you can enjoy the contrast between green leaves and their frosted-looking markings as new growth develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePoints of interest\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, pointed leaves range from mostly green to heavily silver-splashed; markings vary naturally between leaves and plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible vines suit a shelf display or a separately purchased trellis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew runners may grow before leaves appear along the stem. Healthy bare runners are not necessarily a problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstablished plants may produce clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in favorable conditions. Blooms are not guaranteed, and this listing is for a foliage plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ships and estimated mature size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live Hoya Eskimo rooted in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. The measurement describes the pot, not vine length. Plants vary in leaf count, silver coverage, fullness and vine length. Decorative planters, supports and furnishings are not included and are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstimated mature indoor vines may grow approximately 2–4 feet or longer over time, depending on light, growing conditions and pruning. This is a young potted plant, not a mature hanging basket; mature length is not the shipping size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptional planter pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinish your indoor display with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/basel-4-7-inch-planter-white\"\u003eBASEL 4.7-Inch Planter in White\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/basel-4-7-inch-planter-black\"\u003eBASEL 4.7-Inch Planter in Black\u003c\/a\u003e. These optional planters suit most 4-inch grow pots with a little room and are sold separately. The plant and planter are separate purchases, not a bundle. BASEL planters have no drainage holes: keep the plant in its nursery pot, remove it to water, let it drain thoroughly and return it to the decorative planter. Empty any collected water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide bright, indirect or filtered light. Gentle morning sun can be suitable after gradual acclimation. Avoid harsh afternoon sun and hot glass. Dim conditions slow growth and may reduce the contrast of the silver markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let much of the potting mix dry before watering thoroughly. Check moisture below the surface and the weight of the pot rather than following a fixed calendar. Drain completely; never leave roots sitting in water. Avoid keeping the mix constantly wet or allowing prolonged severe dehydration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal adjustments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water less often when conditions are cool or light is weaker. Warmth, active growth and increased airflow can make the pot dry faster, so check the mix before watering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil and drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a loose, chunky, airy mix and a nursery pot with drainage holes. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rich-houseplant-soil-blend\"\u003eRich Houseplant Soil Blend\u003c\/a\u003e is sold separately; amend with orchid bark and perlite or pumice as needed to improve aeration for Hoya roots. Avoid dense soil that remains soggy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aim for warm indoor conditions around 65–80°F. Protect from frost, cold drafts, prolonged chilling and direct heater airflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate humidity is helpful, although plants can adapt to typical indoor conditions. Provide gentle airflow and avoid persistently wet leaves. Misting is not a substitute for appropriate root watering or room humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth according to the label. Our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/slow-release-fertilizer\"\u003e2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants \u0026amp; Succulents\u003c\/a\u003e is sold separately. Follow container-size directions, avoid stacking full doses of different fertilizers and reduce or pause feeding when growth slows. Do not fertilize dry roots or a stressed plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining and pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let stems trail or secure them loosely to a separate support. Avoid tight ties and sharp bends. Trim overly long growth with clean tools if desired, but retain healthy exploratory runners and old flowering spurs, which may flower again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repot when roots crowd the pot or the mix has broken down, preferably during active growth. Choose a container only slightly larger with drainage holes. Oversized pots can hold excess moisture around the roots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take a healthy stem cutting containing at least one node and root it in water or a lightly moist, airy propagation medium under warm, indirect light. A leaf without a node will not reliably grow a new vine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf care and pests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gently wipe dusty leaves with a damp cloth. Inspect leaf undersides and stem joints for mealybugs, scale and spider mites. Isolate affected plants and use an appropriate labeled treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter arrival:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unpack carefully to protect the slender vines. Give the plant bright indirect light, check moisture before watering and allow it to settle before repotting or heavy pruning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePet safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, but eating plant material can still cause stomach upset. Keep vines out of reach of pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CTS Air Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52855556767975,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/3120\/8167\/files\/image_be67599f-da22-434a-ac49-0987eb4a154c.png?v=1792187429","url":"https:\/\/ctsairplants.com\/products\/hoya-eskimo-4-inch-pot","provider":"CTS Air Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
