{"product_id":"hoya-obovata-4-inch-pot","title":"Hoya obovata, 4-Inch Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoya obovata brings bold, rounded foliage to a bright indoor space, with thick green leaves scattered with silvery flecks. Its waxy leaves and searching stems give this young plant plenty of character even before it develops into a longer climbing or trailing display. Let new vines explore a shelf edge or gently train them onto a separately purchased support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePoints of interest\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroad, rounded to oval leaves have a fleshy, waxy texture and naturally variable silver markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong exploratory runners can appear before leaves develop along them; healthy bare runners are a normal part of Hoya growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVines can trail or climb with suitable support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature plants may produce fragrant clusters of star-shaped flowers under favorable conditions. Flowering is not guaranteed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat ships and estimated mature size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live Hoya obovata rooted in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. The pot measurement describes the container, not the plant height or vine length. Leaf count, silver markings, vine length and fullness vary naturally. This is a young potted plant, not a mature hanging basket. Decorative planters, trellises and furnishings are not included and are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstimated mature indoor vines can reach approximately 3–6 feet or more with time and suitable care. Eventual size depends on growing conditions, support and pruning; mature vine length is not the shipping size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptional planter pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a clean indoor display, pair this 4-inch grow pot with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/basel-4-7-inch-planter-white\"\u003eBASEL 4.7-Inch Planter in White\u003c\/a\u003e or a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/basel-4-7-inch-planter-black\"\u003eBASEL 4.7-Inch Planter in Black\u003c\/a\u003e. Each planter is sold separately; the plant and decorative planter are separate purchases, not a bundle. The 4.7-inch opening accommodates most 4-inch grow pots, but actual pot dimensions vary, so check fit before ordering. These planters have no drainage holes. Keep the Hoya in its nursery pot, remove it for watering, let it drain fully, then return it to the decorative planter. Never leave water pooled inside.\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 may suit a gradually acclimated plant, but avoid harsh afternoon sun and hot window glass. Lower light slows growth and makes flowering less likely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow much of the potting mix to dry between thorough waterings, then let excess water drain completely. Check below the surface and consider pot weight rather than watering on a rigid schedule. Avoid standing water and prolonged severe dehydration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduce frequency in cool, low-light periods. Active growth, warmth and airflow can increase drying; check the mix before adding water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil and drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a chunky, airy, fast-draining mix in a 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 for Hoya-friendly aeration. Avoid dense, persistently wet soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep warm, ideally around 65–85°F. Protect from frost, prolonged chilling, cold drafts and drying heat vents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Average household humidity is generally workable, with moderate humidity helpful for active growth. Maintain gentle airflow. Routine misting does not replace proper watering or room humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth following the fertilizer 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 combining full doses of different fertilizers, and reduce or pause feeding when growth slows. Do not feed dry roots or a stressed plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guide vines gently onto a separate trellis with loose ties or allow them to trail. Avoid forcing stiff stems into tight bends. Keep runners away from places where they could snag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and flowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim overly long vines with clean tools if needed. Do not remove healthy bare runners simply because they have not yet leafed out. Retain short flower-bearing spurs after blooming because Hoyas can flower from them again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repot when roots crowd the container or the mix breaks down, preferably during active growth. Move up only slightly; Hoyas generally tolerate a snug pot better than an oversized, wet container.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Root a healthy stem cutting with at least one node in water or lightly moist, airy propagation mix under warm indirect light. A leaf without a node will not reliably produce a new vine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf care and pests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth. Inspect undersides and stem joints for mealybugs, scale and spider mites. Isolate affected plants and use a treatment labeled for the pest and indoor ornamentals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter arrival:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unpack carefully without pulling runners. Place in bright indirect light, check moisture before watering and allow the plant 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 chewing plant material can still cause stomach upset. Keep stems out of reach of pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CTS Air Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52855556702439,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/3120\/8167\/files\/image_0f65de89-7052-4309-97e9-5353a9b99431.png?v=1792187040","url":"https:\/\/ctsairplants.com\/products\/hoya-obovata-4-inch-pot","provider":"CTS Air Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
