Hoya Wayetii Wax Plant, 6-Inch Hanging Pot
Hoya Wayetii Wax Plant creates a lush trailing display with narrow, gently curved green leaves. Its fleshy foliage and arching stems bring texture to a bright indoor window or raised shelf. This is the green form, not the separately listed variegated Wayetii; leaf color and fullness vary naturally.
Points of interest
- Narrow, fleshy green leaves with darker margins.
- Arching and trailing growth suited to a hanging pot.
- Waxy foliage adds texture without needing a large floor space.
- Hoyas may flower when mature and conditions suit them, but blooms are not guaranteed at shipping.
Current and mature size
You receive one rooted plant in a 6-inch plastic hanging nursery pot. Photos show representative plants; vine length, leaf count, and fullness vary. Vines can lengthen into a larger trailing display over time. A reliable mature measurement has not been confirmed for this listing; growing conditions and pruning influence its eventual spread.
Optional decorative planters
For tabletop styling, consider our White BASEL, Black BASEL, White OSLO, or Black OSLO. Decorative planters and additional hanging accessories are sold separately. Their openings measure 6.3 inches; check the actual nursery pot's widest rim diameter and height, including any hanger attachments, before choosing a cover pot. The nursery hanger may need to be detached for tabletop display. BASEL and OSLO have no drainage holes and are removable cover pots, not containers for direct planting.
Care guide
- Light: Provide bright indirect light. Gentle morning sun may be suitable after gradual acclimation; protect from harsh direct sun. Do not expect the green form to develop the pink coloration of a variegated plant.
- Water: Let the upper portion of mix dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain completely. Avoid continuously wet soil or prolonged complete drying. Adjust frequency to light, temperature, and root conditions rather than a fixed calendar.
- Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix in a nursery pot with drainage holes. Our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, sold separately, can be amended with bark or perlite as needed for an airy Hoya mix. Avoid compacted, waterlogged soil.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Follow its label, avoid overfeeding or combining fertilizer schedules, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Temperature and humidity: Keep warm and frost-free, away from cold drafts and heating vents. Moderate to higher humidity can help, with gentle airflow. Use a humidifier if needed rather than relying on misting for lasting humidity.
- Display and maintenance: Give vines room to arch and trail. Use a secure hanger rated for the watered container's weight or a stable raised surface. Prune only as needed with clean tools, and preserve established flower spurs if present because they may bloom again. Repot when needed into a modestly larger pot with drainage.
- Cover-pot watering: Remove the nursery pot from BASEL or OSLO before watering, let it drain fully, empty collected water, and return only after drainage stops.
Pet safety: Hoya is generally considered non-toxic to pets.
