The Crassipetiolata Hoya boasts the easy care requirements of a Hoya along with next-level variegation. This vining Hoya has glossy, elongated leaves that are wide in the center and narrow at the ends. The foliage is light green with dark green accents on the midrib, veining, and margins. Silver flecks may appear for a pop of color. This beauty puts on a lovely and unexpected display of purple and red hues when exposed to direct sunlight. Enjoy sweet-scented, creamy white flowers when the plant receives proper care.
Best Locations For Growing Crassipetiolata Hoya
The vining form of the Crassipetiolata Hoya makes this plant a natural fit for a hanging planter or a trellis. The reaching stems can hang down or climb, depending on how you display the plant. Feature the pet-safe Hoya in any room of your home, as long as the sunlight and humidity are appropriate.
Crassipetiolata Hoya Sunlight Requirements
Position the Crassipetiolata Hoya in bright, indirect sunlight. Bright sunlight encourages abundant growth and increases the vibrancy of the variegation. The silver flecks will stand out, and the leaves will display more color if the plant is acclimated to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may singe the leaves of a new plant that has not been exposed to direct sunlight. Slowly acclimate the Crassipetiolata Hoya to direct sunlight to enjoy a bold display of red and purple tones.
Crassipetiolata Hoya Care
Remove the occasional dead or damaged leaf, but Crassipetiolata Hoya plants seldom need special care. These plants are content to stay in the same pot for years at a time but repot when growth noticeably slows, or the potting soil is past its prime. Repot in a slightly larger container with drainage and use moist soil that sheds excess moisture.
Watering Crassipetiolata Hoya
Water the Crassipetiolata Hoya only when the top layer of potting soil is dry. This plant does not tolerate wet feet, so ensure the soil is dry to the touch before watering. Aim for average to above-average humidity, as this tropical plant thrives with increased moisture in the air.
Feeding Crassipetiolata Hoya
Apply a balanced or low-nitrogen plant food every four weeks during the spring and summer. Balanced fertilizer supports all-around growth, while a low-nitrogen formula will encourage the plant to bloom. Select a water-soluble product to reduce the risk of fertilizer burn.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
