Description
This Plant is seed-grown by our growers at Kambarang Garden Centre. Seeds have their own genetic spread which can result in different characteristics to the parent plant.
Hoya australis, a native of Northern Australia, is a resilient and attractive evergreen climber, perfect for brightening up indoor spaces or enhancing outdoor areas with its lush foliage and captivating blooms. This wax flower produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped white flowers with a reddish-pink centre, adding a touch of elegance to any setting. It thrives in bright, indirect light and is well-suited to pots, hanging baskets, or climbing supports.
Hoya australis prefers a well-draining, open soil mix and should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during Makuru (winter). Its low-maintenance nature and long lifespan make it an excellent choice for plant lovers in Perth looking for a hardy, yet beautiful, addition to their collection.
