Care information

**Hoya engleriana**
*Hoya engleriana* is a small-leaved *Hoya* species native to Indo-China. It grows as a slender epiphytic vine with compact, firm leaves held along thin stems, usually taking a trailing or lightly climbing habit in cultivation. Leaves are notably small compared with many other *Hoya*, and mature plants can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers typical of the genus.

You will receive a single cutting, grower’s choice. Listing photos are representative of the approximate size and form you will receive.

**Light Requirements:** Bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sun.
**Humidity Requirements:** Moderate to high, approximately 50–80 percent.
**Temperature Range:** 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep above 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Small trailing to lightly climbing epiphytic vine with slender stems.
**Soil:** Open, well-draining epiphytic mix with bark, perlite, and long-fiber sphagnum or coco husk.
**pH:** Slightly acidic, approximately 5.5–6.5.
**Size:** Leaves are very small, often around 1–2 cm long; stems trail or climb gradually under warm, humid conditions.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Apocynaceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
60–80% — Suitable for "open-top" or partially ventilated terrariums. While higher than average household humidity, these plants are adaptable and less prone to leaf melt if the environment fluctuates slightly.
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.

Size
Large
Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
Old World — Native to the Eastern Hemisphere: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and surrounding islands.
