About Hoya Verticillata
Hoya Verticillata (Hoya verticillata) is a vigorous, beginner-friendly hoya with glossy leaves and large clusters of fragrant flowers. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a rooted cutting with two to four leaves.
What does Hoya Verticillata look like?
The leaves are glossy, medium green and elliptic, often with faint veins showing on the surface. Hoya verticillata is widespread in Southeast Asia and comes in many forms, so leaf shape and size vary between plants.
It is a fast, easygoing climber. Mature plants produce large round clusters of small, pale flowers with a sweet scent. If this is your first hoya, it is a good place to start; see our other hoyas for what to try next.
How do you care for Hoya Verticillata?
- Light: Bright indirect light. Some morning sun helps it bloom.
- Water: Water when the mix is mostly dry. The leaves store water.
- Humidity: 50% or higher is ideal, but it handles average room air well.
- 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.
Because it grows fast, it can fill a trellis in a season. Wind long stems back around the support instead of cutting them, since the flowers come from older growth.
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 Verticillata 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.
