This plant can go several weeks without water. Only water it when the soil dries out completely and be careful not to over-water.

Plant Bio

Hoya carnosa ‘Mauna Loa’

Hoya carnosa is native to tropical regions of Asia and Australia, where it grows as an epiphytic vine in warm, humid environments. This natural growth habit makes it well-suited for trailing or climbing indoors.

Mauna Loa Hoya grows best in bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window or under plant lights. It can tolerate medium light conditions, though growth may be slower.

In our testing, it performs well when the top portion of the potting mix is allowed to dry between waterings. Avoid keeping the soil consistently wet, as overwatering can lead to root issues.

This plant thrives in average household temperatures and prefers conditions above 60°F for best results. It benefits from moderate humidity but adapts well to typical indoor environments.

This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
