The Story Behind This Plant

Hoya Retusa is native to India, where its slender, needle-like leaves help it thrive in bright, filtered light conditions distinct from the broader-leaved Hoyas of Southeast Asia.

How to Keep It Happy

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50 to 70%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier.
  • Soil: Use a well draining potting mix to prevent root rot.
