  • FEATURES

    Introducing  a tropical beauty, as bright and fabulous as her namesake–’Shining Sea Star’ Hoya. This hoya features trailing trusses of ovate green leaves, with vibrant white & pink variegation. To keep your ‘Shining Sea Star’ the star of your collection, give her as much bright, indirect light as possible–perhaps even some early morning sunshine! This variety of hoya is primarily grown for her beautiful pink variegation, but she may grace you with cream-to-pink flowers, if you keep her happy.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Hoya at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Hoyas perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. They will tolerate lower light conditions, but will not grow as vigorously or show their colors as vibrantly. Some early morning or late evening sunlight may be tolerated and cause some sought-after “blushing” to appear, but monitor your Hoya for leaf burning if it is in direct sun. 
    • Hoyas are generally adaptable to ambient household humidity, but they do appreciate higher humidity. You can help get humidity above 60% by using a humidifier, misting your Hoya, or keeping it on a pebble tray. 
    • Hoyas prefer to dry out in between waterings. As such, water your Hoya thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. They can tolerate periods of drought, and overwatering them will cause more harm than underwatering.
    • Feed your Hoya once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • When repotting your Hoya, use a chunky all-purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Hoya has good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
    • Hoyas are vines, capable of trailing or climbing. If you’d like it to climb, provide it with structure, such as a moss pole, trellis, stakes, or other structure.
