Gabriella Plants Hoya pubicalyx

Yes, this Hoya is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.

It prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, you will see the best growth and more frequent blooms if it is placed near a bright window without direct, harsh sun.

No, you should leave the flower stalks, known as peduncles, intact. Hoyas bloom from the same stalks repeatedly, so removing them will prevent future flowering.

The most important rule is to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Because it is an epiphyte, it prefers a well-draining environment and will suffer if left in soggy soil.

Both work well. Because of its vining habit, it looks beautiful trailing from a hanging basket, but training it onto a trellis will often encourage faster growth and can help the plant reach the maturity needed to bloom.
