Hoya Australis
Hoya Australis
The plant, by the plant
Homegrown and proud - I'm the Hoya Australis, one of the few famous houseplant hoyas that's genuinely Australian. My wild relatives trail along rainforest edges from Cape York to northern New South Wales, so 'thriving in your lounge room' is frankly a downhill run for me.
My waxy leaves store water (very forgiving of forgetfulness), and with age I produce clusters of star-shaped, sweetly perfumed porcelain flowers that look hand-made. Bright, indirect light, water when dry, and don't move me once flower buds appear - I like to bloom where I'm planted.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot with approx 1m of established vine
Pets: pet-friendly - the fur team is safe.
Hang me from an Arden Macrame Hanger and nudge those famous flowers along with Indoor Plant Food.

Water sparingly and allow soil to dry out in between waterings. Prefers to be homed in a bright room with some indirect light. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
