Love this plant! Just picked it up at my local garden center in Queens (Hone Depot Woodhaven Blvd) and I’m so happy Proven Winners is working with growers to get more niche Hoya species that were usually found in smaller florists and garden stores now for mass market! I have wanted this plant for a while for its lovely tie-dye leaves and trailing habit! I have experience with other Hoyas so I’m confident this one will do just fine! Great plants and superb value! Also happy that they come in smaller 4” pots so I can buy multiple at once and have a collection when the rest of the line comes to my stores ;)

Say hello to our little friend–Hoya wayetii ‘Kelp Grove’ This pretty Hoya exhibits a multitude of colors, and looks so fabulous spilling out of a container or climbing a trellis, that you’ll hope it grows like a [sea]weed! Its resemblance to an undersea string of kelp is uncanny! It has lanceolate leaves of cream-to-gold with green margins and the occasional blush of pink. Place your ‘Kelp Grove’ in medium to bright light for the best display of variegation, and allow its soil to dry in between waterings. Although most commonly grown for its gorgeous foliage, this hoya can also put on flawless clusters of fuschia flowers.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep your Hoya at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Hoyas perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. They will tolerate lower light conditions, but will not grow as vigorously or show their colors as vibrantly. Some early morning or late evening sunlight may be tolerated and cause some sought-after “blushing” to appear, but monitor your Hoya for leaf burning if it is in direct sun.
- Hoyas are generally adaptable to ambient household humidity, but they do appreciate higher humidity. You can help get humidity above 60% by using a humidifier, misting your Hoya, or keeping it on a pebble tray.
- Hoyas prefer to dry out in between waterings. As such, water your Hoya thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. They can tolerate periods of drought, and overwatering them will cause more harm than underwatering.
- Feed your Hoya once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
- Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
- When repotting your Hoya, use a chunky all-purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Hoya has good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
- Hoyas are vines, capable of trailing or climbing. If you’d like it to climb, provide it with structure, such as a moss pole, trellis, stakes, or other structure.
