Hoya Pottsii
Hoya Pottsii is a tropical vining houseplant known for its thick, glossy green foliage and long trailing or climbing stems. With brighter light, the leaves may develop attractive reddish or bronze tones. Mature plants can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers that are often cream-colored and fragrant, making this a great Hoya for both foliage and flower collectors.
The plant is commonly sold as Hoya pottsii. Botanically, Kew currently considers Hoya pottsii Lindl. a synonym of Hoya verticillata var. verticillata, though the Hoya pottsii name is still widely used in cultivation and the houseplant trade.
Care
Hoya Pottsii does best in bright, indirect light. Plenty of filtered light encourages stronger growth and can help promote flowering. Some forms may develop reddish coloring when grown in brighter light. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Water thoroughly when the top portion of the soil has dried and allow excess water to drain. Hoyas prefer to dry slightly between waterings and are sensitive to staying consistently wet, especially during cooler months.
Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage. A mixture containing houseplant soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well and helps provide airflow around the roots.
Hoya Pottsii prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. It can adapt to average household conditions but generally grows more actively when kept warm with consistent humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
This Hoya has a vining growth habit and can be allowed to trail from a hanging pot or trained onto a trellis or other support. Avoid removing old flower spurs after blooming, as Hoyas can produce new flowers from the same growth points.
Pet Safety
Hoyas are generally considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. The ASPCA specifically lists the commonly grown Hoya carnosa as non-toxic to both dogs and cats, although Hoya pottsii is not separately listed in its database.
