All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
The **Hoya Mathilde** is a hybrid Hoya, a delightful cross between Hoya Carnosa and Hoya Serpens. Like most Hoyas (often called "Wax Plants" due to their waxy leaves and flowers), it hails from the tropical regions of Asia and Australia, typically growing as an epiphyte, clinging to trees. This particular hybrid was created to combine the best traits of its parents: the charming leaf shape and size with beautiful, fragrant blooms. Its relatively compact size makes it an excellent choice for indoor growing. Its botanical name is **Hoya Mathilde**.
How to Keep It Happy
Hoya Mathilde is quite forgiving, making it a wonderful addition to any collection. Here are some easy tips to help it flourish:
- **Light:** Loves bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct morning or late afternoon sun can encourage blooming, but avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch leaves.
- **Water:** As a semi-succulent, it prefers to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry, usually every 1-2 weeks depending on conditions. Less in winter.
- **Humidity:** It appreciates average to higher humidity but is quite adaptable to normal household levels. Occasional misting or a pebble tray can be beneficial.
- **Soil:** Use a well-draining, airy potting mix. An orchid mix or a blend with perlite and bark is excellent to ensure good aeration for its roots.
- **Temperature:** Keep it warm, between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect it from cold drafts.
- **Feeding:** Feed every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in winter.
- **Blooming:** Don't remove spent flower peduncles (stems), as new blooms will emerge from them!
What to Do About Pests
Hoyas are generally robust, but like all plants, they can occasionally attract pests. Regular inspection will keep your plant healthy.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?
When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!
MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.
Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.
No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
