Hoya linearis is a unique and attractive houseplant known for its long, trailing stems adorned with slender, needle-shaped leaves. This unusual Hoya makes a beautiful addition to hanging baskets or shelves, where its cascading foliage can be fully appreciated. Its delicate, green leaves create a soft, elegant look, and it occasionally produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers under optimal conditions.

Hoya linearis has a vining growth habit, capable of climbing or trailing, making it versatile for different display options. As an epiphytic plant, it thrives with a bit of care and attention to its specific needs, rewarding its owner with lush growth and occasional blooms.

Origins
Native to the Himalayan regions of northern India, Nepal, and Bhutan, Hoya linearis grows at higher altitudes than most Hoyas, in cool, humid forest environments. This mountain origin means it tolerates cooler temperatures than its tropical relatives, but it is also more sensitive to dry air and intense heat.

Soil and Substrate
Hoya linearis is epiphytic and needs a very open, fast-draining substrate. Our Hoya Premium Potting Mix works well as a base.
