Hoya Motoskei
About Hoya Motoskei
With over 500 species and even more cultivars, there's a Hoya out there for everyone! They're native to Southeast Asia and their common name, waxplant, refers to their thick, waxy leaves which help them retain water in the heat. They're excellent climbers and will take off if you give them a trellis to grow on. Their other-worldly, star-shaped flowers are often fragrant and come in brilliant shades of red, pink, yellow, and more!

How to fertilize Hoya Motoskei
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hoya Motoskei after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Will the colour return to the edge of the leaves? Noticed a few leaves on this hoya have a faint yellowing edge which apparently means it's low on potassium. I gave it the fertilizer I have on hand (18-18-21) a few weeks ago and it has some new growth (some new stems and a tiny nub of something, yay!) but will the colour return? Would appreciate any suggestions for specific care so it doesn't get worse. TIA #gregfam! #help #plantfirstaid #yellowingleaves #plantcarehelp #hoyalucardenasiana #greggershelpinggreggers #greggang 💚🪴

This is my first hoya and I am still new to indoor plants! Since my anxiety calls the shots, I ordered this hoya online and it came in this condition. Is it healthy? Any tips? There are small brown spots and some of the leaves are hard on the ends. #Hoya
