Urban Sprouts Hoya Pubicalyx

This plant prefers bright, indirect light to stay healthy and encourage growth. While it can tolerate lower light levels, it will grow much slower and is less likely to produce its signature star-shaped flowers.

As a succulent, the Hoya Pubicalyx prefers to dry out between waterings. Allow the top inch or two of soil to feel completely dry before watering thoroughly, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

That is completely normal behavior for this variety. The plant sends out these 'explorative' stems to search for new surfaces to climb or trail; once it finds a stable environment, it will eventually fill in those stems with leaves.

Yes, it can bloom indoors, though it requires consistent, bright light and regular fertilization during the growing season. Keep in mind that younger plants may take some time to mature before they are ready to produce their waxy, star-shaped flowers.

It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before repotting. Since it arrives in a standard nursery pot, you can easily slip it into a decorative cachepot for an immediate aesthetic upgrade.
