Hoya Paxtonii

Meet the Hoya Paxtonii 🌿

Understated yet captivating — the Hoya Paxtonii is a rare gem that seasoned plant collectors seek out for its graceful trailing vines and exquisite waxy blooms. Its thick, succulent-like leaves cascade beautifully from a hanging basket or wind elegantly up a trellis, and when it flowers, clusters of star-shaped, sweetly fragrant blooms make the wait entirely worthwhile.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Some gentle direct morning sun is tolerated and may help trigger blooming. Avoid harsh midday or afternoon sun.
• Water: Allow soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Thick leaves store water — overwatering is the most common mistake and leads to root rot.
• Humidity: Adaptable to average household humidity (40–60%), though higher humidity is always appreciated.
• Temperature: Prefers 60–85°F (15–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F.
• Soil: Well-draining, airy mix — a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark ensures roots never sit in moisture.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced or phosphorus-rich fertilizer to encourage blooming. No feeding in fall/winter.
• Blooming: Never remove old flower spurs — new blooms grow from the same points season after season!
• Display: Gorgeous trailing from a hanging basket or trained on a small trellis.
• Repotting: Infrequently needed — thrives and blooms best when slightly rootbound.

✅ Pet-Friendly: Generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans — a rare and worry-free beauty!
