Hoya Sarawak (Hoya sp. 'Sarawak')

Hoya Sarawak (Hoya sp. 'Sarawak')

Hoya Sarawak (Hoya sp. 'Sarawak') is a rare tropical climbing houseplant admired for its exceptionally large, thick, glossy green leaves and vigorous growth habit. Native to the rainforests of Sarawak, Malaysia, this collector-favourite Hoya develops lush trailing or climbing vines that create a dramatic tropical display while remaining relatively easy to care for indoors.

The oversized, leathery foliage gives this species an impressive architectural appearance, with each leaf displaying a rich green colour and subtle veining. As the plant matures under ideal conditions, it produces rounded clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers that are creamy white to soft pink with contrasting centres. The blooms are highly fragrant, especially during the evening, and produce small droplets of sweet nectar that are characteristic of many Hoyas.

Hoya Sarawak performs beautifully in hanging baskets, decorative pots, moss poles, trellises, and indoor plant shelves. It pairs exceptionally well with Monstera, Philodendron, Scindapsus, Epipremnum, Anthurium, and other tropical climbing plants, creating lush indoor displays filled with varying leaf shapes and textures.

Sun Requirements ▾

Bright indirect light. An LED grow light can help maintain healthy growth in spaces with limited natural light. Several hours of gentle morning sun or filtered bright light encourage vigorous growth and increase the likelihood of flowering. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch the foliage.

Watering Instructions ▾

Water when the top half of the soil has dried, allowing excess water to drain completely. Hoya Sarawak stores moisture in its thick leaves and is more tolerant of slight underwatering than consistently wet soil. Avoid allowing the potting mix to remain saturated, as this can lead to root rot.

Care Tips ▾

Allow the vines to mature naturally, as flower clusters typically develop on older growth. Avoid removing the flower spurs (peduncles), as future blooms will emerge from the same locations. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
