- Botanical Name: Hoya Australis
- Common Names: Waxvine, Honey plant, Porcelain Flower
- Description: In the wild, it mostly grows across the edge of rainforests, rocky areas and is famous because of its ability to attract butterflies. Hoya australis is now becoming a popular garden and houseplant because of its fragrant and showy white flowers.
- Hoya Australis will do well when kept in bright light. You might find their growth slows or they stop putting out flowers if the lighting conditions are too low. It is recommended that you don’t keep them in direct sunlight but this probably depends on where you live.
- Hoya Australis does not like to be wet so you should only water your plant when necessary. Allow the Australis plant to dry out between waterings to avoid problems such as root rot. If you struggle to know when your plant is dry you can either use your fingers by sticking them down into the soil or you can use a moisture meter to help you.
- For your Hoya Australis you will need a well draining mix to avoid water clogging around the plant’s roots. For this a good mix would be cactus soil, orchid mix and perlite. It’s important that you make your your plant pot has drainage holes so that excess water doesn’t stay clogged in the soil.
- Hoya Australis like to be kept warm but it’s important that the air doesn’t dry out, so make sure they’re not near heating systems. They do not do well in cooler temperatures so make sure you keep them in warmer rooms and away from doors and windows that will allow cool air into the room.
- The Australis plant prefers to live in medium to high humidity. Although misting can be beneficial for plants a humidifier would help a lot more.
