Details
The Hoya Chouke, scientifically known as Hoya carnosa 'Chouke', is a rare and captivating houseplant admired for its elongated, waxy leaves with splashes of creamy white variegation. Its trailing or climbing habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, trellises, or as a statement piece in your indoor garden. When mature, it may reward you with clusters of sweetly scented, star-shaped flowers.
Native to tropical regions of Asia, this Hoya variety thrives in warm, humid environments and adapts well to indoor conditions. Its rare appearance and collectible status make it a must-have for plant enthusiasts and collectors alike.
- Common Names: Hoya Chouke, Chouke Wax Plant
- Botanical Name: Hoya carnosa 'Chouke'
- Size: Trails or climbs up to 3-5 feet indoors with proper care.
Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant variegation. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower and lose variegation in lower light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
- Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, as this plant stores moisture in its thick leaves. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity but adapts to average indoor conditions. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier in drier environments.
- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged exposure to temperatures below 60°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for epiphytic plants or succulents.
