Hoya retusa

Hoya retusa
The Hoya retusa is a truly one-of-a-kind tropical houseplant, loved for its thin, grass-like leaves that drape elegantly from long, slender stems. Unlike traditional Hoyas with fuller, waxy foliage, this minimalist variety offers a delicate, airy aesthetic that’s equal parts quirky and refined. Its soft, ribbon-like leaves create a whimsical, cascading effect—perfect for hanging baskets, wall planters, or creative mounted displays.

Under the right conditions, Hoya retusa rewards patient growers with clusters of small, star-shaped white flowers accented by deep maroon centers. Fragrant and dainty, these blooms add a charming surprise to its distinctive form.

Easy to care for and visually striking, this low-maintenance Hoya is ideal for both beginners and seasoned collectors. It pairs beautifully with boho, modern, and minimalist interiors—bringing natural texture and artistic flair to your space.

Sun Requirements ▾

Hoya retusa thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some lower light conditions but will flower best when placed near an east or north-facing window. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.

Watering Instructions ▾

Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, and ensure your pot has good drainage. Unlike other Hoyas, Hoya retusa prefers slightly more frequent watering due to its thinner leaves, but it's still important to avoid overwatering.

Care Tips ▾

This Hoya does well in average to high humidity and temperatures between 65–85°F (18–29°C). It’s a relatively low-maintenance plant and benefits from monthly feeding during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Its trailing growth makes it ideal for shelves, hanging pots, or as a soft accent in modern interiors.
