Description
Hoya arnottiana, often known as Arnott’s Wax Flower, is a vigorous and resilient climber that is perfect for adding lush greenery and unique blooms to indoor spaces or outdoor areas in Perth. Its large, glossy green leaves provide a striking contrast to its fragrant, star-shaped white flowers with a light pink centre, arranged in stunning umbels. These flowers are long-lasting and bloom in cycles throughout the warmer months, adding both charm and fragrance to your environment.
This evergreen climber thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil lightly moist during its active growing period, reducing watering during Makuru (winter). Ideal for pots, hanging baskets, or climbing supports, Hoya arnottiana requires minimal maintenance and can live for many years, making it an excellent addition to any plant collection.
