Native habitat and growth pattern
In the wild, Hoya linearis grows as an epiphyte, anchoring itself to trees and trailing down gracefully. Indoors, its fine, trailing stems spill dramatically from a pot or basket, creating a curtain of soft green foliage. With the right care, it can also reward you with clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers in spring and summer.

Size
W12cm x 35cm. Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.
