BWH Plant Co Hoya Crassipetiolata

Yes, this Hoya variety is non-toxic to both cats and dogs. It is a great choice if you have curious pets that like to nibble on your houseplants.

To encourage the plant to blush with those pink and red variegation tones, it needs bright, indirect light. While it can survive in lower light, you will likely see mostly green foliage without that extra light exposure.

The most important rule is to let the soil dry out significantly between waterings. Because it is a succulent-like vining plant, it is much more prone to root rot from overwatering than it is to damage from drying out.

Hoyas are known for their fragrant, star-shaped blooms, but they generally need to be mature and receive consistent, bright light to produce them. It may take some time and patience before you see your first cluster of flowers.

You don't have to, but it is recommended. While it can trail beautifully from a hanging basket or shelf, providing a trellis or stake allows the vines to climb, which often results in larger, healthier leaves.
