Hoya | Endauensis

Botanical name: Hoya endauensis

Common name: Endau Hoya

Origin: Malaysia — lowland tropical forests of Endau-Rompin National Park

Family: Apocynaceae

Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. Ideal near an east or south-facing window with filtered sun. Avoid harsh direct rays that can burn foliage, but ensure plenty of brightness to promote blooming and strong growth.

Water:

Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering again. Water thoroughly and let excess drain — hoyas dislike soggy roots. In winter, water less frequently as the plant’s growth slows.

Humidity and Temperature:

Thrives in warm, humid conditions between 18–28 °C (65–82 °F). Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray to maintain at least 60% humidity, especially during dry winter months.

Soil:

Use a loose, well-draining mix — a combination of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat works well. Good airflow around the roots helps prevent rot.

Feeding:

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer or orchid feed. Pause feeding during the winter rest period.

Growth Habit:

An epiphytic vine with slender, glossy leaves and clusters of deep maroon-red blooms. Slow-growing but long-lived, ideal for hanging planters or climbing supports.

Tips

• Allow the plant to become slightly root-bound to encourage flowering.
• Clean leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust.
• Once buds appear, avoid moving the plant, as hoyas may drop buds when disturbed.
