OVERVIEW
Brief notes:
Plant Growth Form: Epiphyte
Native Habitat: On Tree Canopies.
Preferred Climate Zone: Tropical
Light Preference: Partial, Indirect Light (4-5 hrs)
Water Preference: Avoid using tap water, prioritize using rainwater or distilled water.
Soil Preference: Alkaline variants enriched with calcium. Low tolerance of acidic soil.
Recommended potting mix:
1/3 standard potting mix (using a cactus mix of organic origin is also a good substitute)
Perlite in 1/3 proportion
1/3 orchid mix
Propagation Method: Stem Cutting
Here is a quick guide on how to propagate:
Take a cutting with a pair of leaves and a single or two nodes still on it.
Choose where to place it next: water or sphagnum moss. Adequate moisture is paramount at this stage.
Take a plastic bag and cover the cuttings entirely, as this method will raise moisture levels and speed up the process.
Now, all you need is about 14 to 21 days for the roots to form. When you start seeing a few inches forming, your cutting is ready to be used.

Leaves are of two types (Dimorphic)- Domatia forming leaves (those that form a tight cluster to harbor ants; referred to as 'Type I' leaves) broad obovate, fleshy, leathery, to 32 cm in length, forming a tight cluster around the stem due to the shortening of internodes. 'Type II' leaves (foliage leaves that are not involved in the harbouring of ants) lanceolate, to 12 cm in length, in pairs along the stem. It has been observed that 'Type I' tends to be much longer if the domatia is inhabited by ants, as compared to when they are devoid of ants.
Foliage Retention: Evergreen
Mature Foliage Colour(s): Green
Mature Foliage Texture(s): Leathery

Plant Growth Form: Climber, Vine & Liana Native Distribution: Thailand, Malaysia and Borneo
Native Habitat: Terrestrial (Primary Rainforest)

Planting Remarks: This is a species that attracts and harbors ants within the leaves. It may not be suitable for individuals who will prefer not to have ants in their garden/ house. Propagation Method: Seed, Stem Cutting

Brief notes:
FAQ
Yellowing leaves
Too much water. Ensure good drainage and allow the surface of the soil to dry between watering.
Thin or wrinkling leaves Under or overwatering. Check the plant has good drainage and isn't sitting in water or compacted soil.. If the soil is damp, gently remove the plant from its container and check that the roots are healthy.
Dropping new leaves
Water stress. Try adjusting your watering schedule to reduce the large swings in conditions for the plant. Slow or no growth
Environmental stress. Give the plant time to adjust to a change in its surroundings.
Misshapen leaves
This is normally because of stress during the production of the leaf - maybe due to overwatering or flunctuations in temperature.
Vines dying back
If you see the tip of the vine shrivel then it is safe to cut it off. Just make sure it isn't a peduncle or you will be removing a flowering point for the Hoya.
Pests
H. multiflora can be affected by spider mites, scale, thrips. The succulent foliage makes mealybugs a particular issue.
Propagation
Hoya are commonly propagated from cuttings. The cuttings can be rooted in water, sphagnum moss or directly into soil. See hoya propagation for a detailed guide.
