Unlike many other wax flowers grown mainly for their blooms, this species is an absolute hit because of its breathtaking leaves. Its large, firm leaves resemble a prehistoric or graphic artwork – decorated with expressive, dark green (almost black in places) and thick veins on a lighter, greenish-yellow background. Although its main attraction is the foliage, when properly cared for, it can also surprise you with delicate, yellowish star-shaped flowers that smell like a gentle meadow or spices! It is a slow-growing, air-purifying, and very patient \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"685\"\u003evine\u003c\/b\u003e that will add a bold, graphic, and exotic natural accent to any \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"709\"\u003einterior\u003c\/b\u003e.

Important to know nature’s secrets: \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"150\"\u003eHoya callistophylla\u003c\/i\u003e naturally grows as a vine.

Provide it with a small support (a trellis or bamboo hoop) to climb on. And remember the most important flowering rule: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"590\"\u003ewhen the wax flower blooms in the future, NEVER cut off the dry \"stem\" (inflorescence stalk)!\u003c\/b\u003e Hoyas form new flower buds next year from the same old flower stalks. When repotting, it is strictly forbidden to use dense and heavy houseplant soil!
