Plants

The hoya australis is a slow grower with round, oval shaped dark green shiny leaves.

It is an easy epiphytic plant that enjoys soil that is well draining and allowed to dry out a little before watering thoroughly, do not let it stand in water. Give it a bright filtered light place close to the window and will flower in clusters (umbels) during later May to August. Do not be in a hurry to repot unless it dehydrates too quickly and loses leaves. Feed with liquid fertilizer. Propagate by placing cuttings in water.

Prone to root rot and mealybugs.
