  •   Hoya 'Curtisii' is a compact, vining wax plant native to the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, where it grows as an epiphyte in warm, humid tropical forests. It belongs to the Apocynaceae family and has earned a devoted following among collectors for its miniature scale and distinctive foliage.

      The leaves are small and heart-shaped, densely patterned with silver speckles across a deep olive-green base. Each leaf is thick and waxy to the touch, a signature trait of the wax plant genus. Long trailing vines cascade from the plant, making it suited to hanging baskets or shelves.

      It produces small, star-shaped flower clusters in creamy white to pale pink, often with a faint, sweet fragrance. Blooms tend to appear in warmer months when the plant is mature and well-fed, triggered by a slight drop in nighttime temperature. Avoid moving the plant once buds appear, as it is sensitive to relocation during the flowering cycle.

      Rotate the pot regularly for even, balanced growth, and move it outdoors in summer to a warm, sheltered spot with bright indirect light and cover from direct rain. Bring it back inside before nighttime temperatures drop below 60°F. It is pet-friendly and filters indoor air by removing formaldehyde and other toxins, making it a safe choice for households with cats and dogs. It can even grow under office LED lights if natural light is limited.

  •   Hoya 'Curtisii' grows well in bright indirect light and adapts well to medium light or office LED conditions.

      Water it every 10-14 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Hoya Curtisii grows best in a fast-draining mix of orchid bark, perlite, and a small amount of potting soil.

      It prefers temperatures between 60-85°F and should never be exposed to frost or freezing conditions.

      Hoya Curtisii is a slow to moderate grower; feed it monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11, where temperatures stay above 35°F year-round. It grows outdoors year-round in Hawaii, southern Florida, and the southernmost regions of California and Texas. It grows outdoors in summer across Arizona, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Nevada, and coastal Oregon, but must be brought indoors before autumn temperatures drop.
  • Q: Is Hoya 'Curtisii' pet-friendly?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.

    Q: How do I encourage blooms on this plant?
    A: Hoya 'Curtisii' flowers best when mature, well-fed, and exposed to a slight drop in nighttime temperature; avoid moving it once buds form.

    Q: How do I propagate Hoya Curtisii?
    A: Take a stem cutting with at least one node and root it in water or a moist mix of perlite and bark; roots typically form within 3-6 weeks in warm, humid conditions.

    Q: Why are the leaves turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves usually signal overwatering, low humidity below 50%, or exposure to cold air from vents or heaters; check soil moisture and move it away from drafts.

    Q: Can Hoya Curtisii grow indoors under artificial light?
    A: It can grow under office LED lights if natural light is limited.

    Q: What temperature should I maintain outdoors in summer?
    A: Bring Hoya Curtisii inside before nighttime temperatures drop below 60°F; it cannot tolerate frost or freezing.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
