Hoya multiflora 'Shooting Star'

Hoya multiflora stands out from other hoyas because it blooms far more freely and often stays in flower for extended periods. Its unique star shaped blooms have narrow reflexed petals that resemble tiny shooting stars, which is how it earned its name. Unlike many trailing hoyas, this one grows more upright and bushy, making it a great focal plant. Native to parts of Asia, it thrives in warm, humid environments and rewards consistent care with frequent flowering.

Light 🌞
Prefers bright indirect light. It can handle some gentle direct sun in the morning or late afternoon. Strong light helps encourage regular blooming.

Watering 💧
Water when the soil has slightly dried but do not let it stay dry for too long. This species prefers a bit more consistent moisture compared to thicker leaved hoyas.

Soil 🕳️
Use a chunky, airy mix with excellent drainage. A blend suited for epiphytic plants works best to keep roots healthy and oxygenated.

Fertilizing 🧪
Feed during active growth with a balanced fertilizer. Light, consistent feeding supports both foliage and flower production.

Repotting 🪴
Repot when root bound. Move up one pot size at a time and avoid overpotting to prevent excess moisture retention.
