General Information:
Hoya Australis is a popular houseplant known for its easy-care nature and attractive trailing growth habit. This epiphytic vine produces clusters of sweetly scented white flowers with red centers when mature and given proper conditions.

Growing Information:
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. Avoid direct afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 7-10 days depending on environmental conditions. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

USDA Zones:
While native to Australia and Southeast Asia, Hoya Australis is typically grown as a houseplant in most climates. It can be grown outdoors year-round in USDA zones 10-11 where temperatures remain above 50°F (10°C).

Light Requirements:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. East or west-facing windows work well. Can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun.

Water Requirements:
Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then empty the drainage tray. Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows.

Care Tips:
Prefers average household humidity but appreciates occasional misting. Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for epiphytes or succulents. Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring through summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.

This healthy starter plant comes established in its pot and is ready to become a beautiful addition to your indoor plant collection. With proper care, it will develop into a lush, trailing vine perfect for hanging baskets or training up a trellis.
