Hoya Linearis
Wax Plant
Original:As it's name suggests, this trailing succulent with slender, fleshy leaves has pendant umbels of scented white glossy flowers. Loves humidity and bright light but needs protection from strong afternoon sun. And much like its Hoya brethren, this needs a very well drained compost: A loam based compost with added peat and sand is recommended. Likes to be slightly pot-bound and on the dry side. New:Hoya is an evergreen climber suitable for the conservatory. Attractive foliage and waxy flowers which can be highly scented, make these plants popular with indoor growers. In temperate climates they need to be grown in a warm bright room in the house or heated conservatory. They do best in good light where they can produce clusters of star-shaped flowers. 'Hoya Linearis' is a trailing hoya that bears pendent umbels of fragrant white flowers from late Summer to Autumn.

Propagation
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
Remove a leaf with part of the stalk on it and put into a pot filled with a suitable compost or soil and keep moist. Place in a light place, not in direct sunlight and allow to root.
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
Highly scented clusters of star shaped pale pink to dark pink flowers that appear wax like.
Planting Season
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
Re pot cuttings when they have rooted. Place in a sunny, light position, but shade from direct bright sun to avoid foliage scorch. In winter a minimum night temperature of not less than 10°C (50°F). Sharply draining, well aerated compost is essential for hoya to thrive. This can be made using one part by volume orchid bark, one part peat free compost and one part coarse perlite. Alternatively, use cactus compost but add some extra perlite.
