Hoya Australis 6183
🍃 Overview
Hoya australis is a robust, tropical vine native to Australia, renowned for its glossy, thick foliage and ease of care. As a vigorous climber or trailer, it's perfect for trellises, hanging baskets, or training up supports. It truly stands out with its architectural presence and lush greenery.
🌸 Flowers
Produces large, spherical clusters (racemes) of creamy white, star-shaped blooms with a contrasting crown of crimson or deep pink.
Each flower measures about 3–5 mm, forming dense umbels that are several centimeters across.
Blooms are highly fragrant, releasing a spicy-sweet scent—often described as chocolate-like—especially in the evening.
Mature plants often rebloom from the same peduncle, making them prolific and rewarding.
🌱 Care Guide
| Need | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Light | Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some dappled sun outdoors. |
| Water | Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Avoid waterlogging. |
| Soil | Use a well-draining mix: ideal combinations include orchid bark, perlite, and rich potting soil. |
| Humidity | Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50–70%), but adapts well to average indoor air. |
| Temperature | Best in 18–29 °C (65–85 °F); protect from cold drafts and frost. |
