The ‘Krinkle 8’ Hoya is characterised by its puckered leaves which look as though they have been scrunched up to create this unusual shape.
Please note, these plants are grown in coir/bark plugs - these can be quite difficult to remove without damaging delicate roots so we tend to prefer to leave them as they are.
Hoya are a vining plant, they will happily hang off of a shelf or in a hanging basket but if you give them a trellis or pole they will rapidly climb it. If you look after your Hoya right, it will reward you by sending out clusters of star-shaped flowers which form on the stems.
Due to the long and rigid vines of these plants, some damage or leaf drop can occur to the ends of the plants when we initially import them - which we then trim and neaten up, new growth will emerge from either the top of the plant or from higher up on the same vine.
Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light will make this plant thrive. They can grow in a lower light, however it will stunt growth and the plant will not flower.
Water: Allow the top half of soil to dry out before watering during growing months. During the winter reduce watering considerably.
Food: During growing months apply a weak fertiliser once a month.
Humidity: Will tolerate a normal household humidity however for increased growth and bigger leaves an increased humidity will be ideal.
