Why will I love it?
Originally from the Himalayas, the succulent hoya linearis is a long, trailing houseplant, growing up to 90cm long. It has delicate, slender, soft greyish-green stems that spill over the pot edge, creating a wonderful, calming hanging plant.
Light or shade?
Bright indirect light, which encourages flowering.
Where should I put it?
Hang in a bright (ideally east-facing) bathroom to create a stunning, cascading effect.
How do I keep it alive?
Throughout the summer, keep the compost moist by watering weekly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering. During the winter months, reduce watering to every three to four weeks as the plant enters a period of dormancy. Increase the humidity by misting frequently.
