Hoya linearis Plant

Hoya linearis is a beautiful and unique species of Hoya, commonly known as the String-of-Needles or the Wax Plant. It’s appreciated for its slender, cascading stems adorned with linear leaves and clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers.

Here are some key features and care tips for Hoya linearis:

1. Appearance: Hoya linearis has long, narrow, succulent-like leaves that grow opposite each other along thin, trailing stems. The leaves can vary in color from green to gray-green and often have a slightly fuzzy texture. In the right conditions, it produces clusters of small, waxy flowers with a sweet fragrance, typically white or pale pink in color.
2. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for linearis. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day, as it can scorch the leaves.
3. Watering: Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out between waterings.  linearis prefers to be kept slightly on the drier side rather than constantly moist. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to ensure proper drainage.
4. Humidity:  linearis appreciates moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the plant regularly or placing it on a pebble tray filled with water.
5. Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it’s sensitive to cold drafts.
6. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand.
7. Fertilizing: Feed  linearis with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
8. Propagation:  linearis can be propagated from stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem with a few leaves and root it in water or directly in a potting mix.

With proper care,  linearis can be a stunning addition to your indoor plant collection, adding a touch of elegance with its trailing foliage and delicate flowers.
