Hoya 'Brevifolia' care

Hoya 'Brevifolia' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a slow climber within its first year.

Give it bright indirect light; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

It is happiest at a humid corner or grouped planting, potted in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
