FAQ
Pet friendly?
Whilst the plant is non-toxic and pet friendly, the milky sap can be an irritant .
Scorched/ shrivelled leaves?
Too much sun and not enough humidity. Move to somewhere more shaded and humid.
Limp or wilting leaves?
Cause: either root rot or prolonged under watering.
Sudden leaf drop?
Shock from cold temperatures
Large distance between leaves?
Base of the plant not receiving as much light as the top of the plant.
Shrivelled up foliage?
Not enough water or humidity (or both)
Very long ‘stretched’ stems/internodes?
The plant isn’t getting the correct amount of light
No flowers?
The main reason is that your Hoya isn’t getting enough light. Hoya Linearis won’t flower unless it receives very bright indirect sunlight.
