Steve's Leaves Hoya paulshirleyi

Because it has a natural trailing and twining habit, it will thrive either cascading from a hanging basket or climbing a small trellis. If you prefer a fuller look, training the vines upward on a support is usually the best approach.

The flowers produce a sweet, noticeable fragrance, but it is generally subtle rather than overpowering. Keep in mind that the scent is typically strongest for a short window shortly after the blooms open.

This means the plant needs a spot with plenty of ambient light, such as near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing one. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Check the soil surface with your finger; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. Like most epiphytic Hoyas, it prefers to dry out slightly between waterings rather than sitting in consistently soggy soil.

Yes, as long as your home stays between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, it will be perfectly happy. It is well-suited for typical indoor environments, provided it isn't placed directly in the path of cold drafts or heating vents.
