Hoya retusa

Hoya retusa

Hoya retusa is a truly unique addition to any plant lover’s collection, featuring thin, grass-like leaves that cascade from stems like green ribbons. Unlike its fuller-leaved Hoya cousins, this variety brings a minimalist charm with its soft, wispy texture and surprisingly dramatic presence. Each stem grows in a loose, tangled fashion, making it a perfect choice for hanging baskets or mounted displays.

But don’t let the quirky foliage fool you—Hoya retusa also blooms! In the right conditions, it produces small, fragrant white flowers with deep maroon centers. It's a delightfully unexpected detail that adds even more charm to this trailing tropical houseplant.

A favorite for both beginners and collectors, Hoya retusa offers low-maintenance care, moderate growth, and a design-forward look that enhances boho, modern, and minimalist interiors alike.

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.
