Its parent plants originate from Hoya species native to tropical and subtropical parts of Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefers bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning or evening sun can encourage healthy growth and flowering, but avoid prolonged strong midday sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings before watering thoroughly. Hoyas prefer to dry slightly rather than remain constantly wet. Reduce watering during the cooler months when growth slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHumidity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average household conditions. Higher humidity can encourage stronger growth, particularly when combined with good airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRequires a loose, airy and well-draining growing medium. A houseplant mix amended generously with orchid bark and perlite works well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTemperature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefers temperatures between 18–27°C. Protect from cold draughts and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 15°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePet-safe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSprouts Top Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive this Hoya something to climb if you want to encourage larger, more established growth, or allow the vines to trail naturally. Avoid cutting off old flower spurs, known as peduncles, as Hoyas can flower repeatedly from the same point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtras\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a cultivated hybrid, individual plants can show some variation in leaf shape, colouring and markings. Given the right conditions and maturity, it can also produce the characteristic clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers for which Hoyas are loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDid You Know?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe “PMP176” in its name is a hybrid or collection identifier used to distinguish this particular Hoya cross. Plants grown from hybrid crosses can display a fascinating mixture of characteristics inherited from both parents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sprouts of Bristol","offers":[{"title":"12cm","offer_id":58570795123069,"sku":"5336584137871","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/2774\/3905\/files\/IMG_3286-18.jpg?v=1787327616","url":"https:\/\/sproutsofbristol.co.uk\/es\/products\/hoya-pmp176-joy-x-jennifer","provider":"Sprouts of Bristol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
