About Hoya Excavata
Hoya Excavata (Hoya excavata) is a compact trailing hoya with small oval leaves on wiry stems and clusters of fuzzy, fragrant white flowers. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a rooted cutting with two to four leaves.
What does Hoya Excavata look like?
The leaves are small and oval, carried on thin, wiry stems that trail rather than climb hard. The plant stays compact, so it suits a small hanging pot or a shelf edge.
It blooms readily for a hoya, with clusters of white flowers that have a fuzzy surface and a pleasant scent. For other small, easy bloomers, see our other hoyas.
How do you care for Hoya Excavata?
- Light: Bright indirect light. A little morning sun helps it flower.
- Water: Water when the mix is mostly dry. The thin stems and small root system mean it dries faster than big-leaved hoyas.
- Humidity: 50% or higher is ideal, but it adapts to room air.
- Soil: An airy, chunky mix with orchid bark and perlite.
- Temperature: 65–85°F. Keep it above 55°F.
- Pets: Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Keep it out of reach anyway, since chewing any plant can upset a pet’s stomach.
Wiry stems tangle easily. Guide new growth around the pot rim or onto a small hoop while it is still soft.
What will I receive?
A rooted cutting with two to four leaves, similar to the photos. Each plant is an individual, so leaf size and color can vary a little.
How does Hoya Excavata ship?
We ship within the United States by USPS from our California warehouse. Orders leave within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 2–5 days later. Shipping is $12 for the first plant and $4 for each extra plant. Hawaii is a flat $30.
Ordering in cold weather? We can add a heat pack to the box for a small extra fee. Message us when you place your order.
If your plant arrives dead or badly damaged, tell us within 3 days of delivery and include an unboxing video. We will send a replacement.
Can I order from outside the US?
Labijo.com ships to US addresses only. If you live in another country, contact our home nursery in Indonesia through labijo.id and ask what they can send to you. Plant material crossing borders needs a phytosanitary certificate, and some countries also ask for an import permit, so they will check your country’s rules with you.
