Cascading like a waterfall of miniature stars, clusters of pristinely white, waxy flowers dangle from soft, trailing stems throughout summer.
Hoya lanceolata subsp. bella enchants with its perfectly formed blooms, each centred with a striking lilac-pink corona that floats above the lush, fleshy green foliage. This compact epiphytic jewel lives up to its 'honey plant' moniker by filling warm conservatories and bright windowsills with its deliciously sweet fragrance, while its naturally pendulous habit makes it perfect for hanging displays.
True to its tropical nature, this sophisticated beauty thrives in humid environments where its downy stems can create living curtains of flower-studded foliage, provided winter temperatures stay above 10°C (50°F).
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), unless ordered as an option, but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

To encourage the formation of flower buds, try to position the plant where it will receive bright light - and even a little direct sun at either the beginning or end of the day. Throughout the summer you should always keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In the colder months water less often, just giving it a good drink when the soil gets reasonably dry. Mist the leaves with water, especially if they are growing near central heating, and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser at monthly intervals while the plant is actively growing. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter.
