Six little plants, lots of variety and a wonderful opportunity to start or expand your very own Hoya collection!
Know someone who loves plants but doesn't have a big garden anymore? Perhaps Mum, Dad or the grandparents have downsized but still love having greenery around them?
Our six-plant Hoya Mystery Collection could be just the thing!
Hoyas are perfect for smaller spaces, courtyards, balconies, patios and bright indoor positions. They look beautiful in hanging baskets, decorative pots, on shelves and plant stands. Some varieties have lovely trailing stems, while others can be trained to climb across little trellises, hoops, archways and suitable garden supports.
And if you're already a plant lover, there's something rather addictive about discovering just how many different Hoyas there are!
A little about these fascinating plants
Commonly known as Wax Plants or Wax Flowers, Hoyas are a diverse group of tropical and subtropical plants originating from parts of Asia, Australia and surrounding islands.
They have been treasured by plant enthusiasts for generations, and it's easy to understand why.
Their foliage is incredibly varied. You might discover thick, glossy leaves, beautiful silver splashes, unusual shapes, cream and pink variegation, tiny trailing foliage or wonderfully textured and twisted leaves.
There are hundreds of species, hybrids and cultivated varieties, so there's always another interesting Hoya to discover. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, it's a hobby that can keep you fascinated for years!
Just wait until you see the flowers!
Hoyas are renowned for their exquisite flowers. They produce clusters of tiny, star-shaped blooms, often forming beautiful rounded flower heads that look almost like little porcelain ornaments.
Depending on the variety, flowers can be white, cream, soft pink, deep pink, red, yellowish or burgundy, often with contrasting centres. Some varieties are also beautifully fragrant, with their perfume sometimes becoming more noticeable in the evening.
Young plants can take a little while to mature before they're ready to flower, but that's part of the pleasure of growing them. There's something very special about seeing your first Hoya flowers appear!
An important Hoya tip: Once the flowers have finished, resist the temptation to cut off the little flower stalks, known as peduncles. Many Hoyas will flower again from these same stalks, so leave them intact and you may be rewarded with repeated displays!
Growing your new Hoyas
Hoyas generally enjoy:
- Bright, filtered light.
- Gentle morning sunshine, with protection from harsh afternoon sun.
- Warm, sheltered positions.
- An open, free-draining growing mix.
- Watering when the growing medium has dried somewhat.
They're wonderful in hanging baskets, decorative pots and indoor plant displays. Climbing varieties can also be trained over suitable supports to create beautiful leafy features.
🎁 What's included in your mystery collection?
- 6 Hoya plants in individual approximately 50mm nursery pots.
- A mixed selection of varieties from our available collection.
- A minimum of 3 different varieties, and potentially more depending on availability.
- Plenty of interesting foliage, shapes and growth habits to discover!
Your six plants will be carefully selected and packed into two separate boxes, with three plants in each.
Specific varieties and the exact combination cannot be requested or guaranteed. The selection will vary according to stock availability.
A gift that's a little bit different!
I think this collection would make a gorgeous gift for someone who loves plants, a keen collector or anyone who enjoys a little surprise.
They're lovely for birthdays, housewarmings, Mother's Day, Christmas or simply because!
And for those who have downsized but still miss having a garden full of plants, six little Hoyas could be the beginning of a wonderful new collection without needing much space.
Or, of course, you could keep them all for yourself. I wouldn't blame you!
Plants are supplied in their original nursery pots. Photographs are indicative of the types of Hoyas you may receive.

Top Tips for Planting
Use a small pot with good drainage and an open, airy potting mix. A blend of orchid bark, perliteanda little moisture-retaining material works well.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the root ball. Hoyas generally enjoy being a little snugintheir pots and don't need frequent repotting.
Avoid burying the stems too deeply and ensure excess water can drain freely. Repot only when necessary.
Top Tips for Growing
Position in bright, filtered light. Gentle morning sunshine is beneficial, but protect plants from harsh afternoon sun.
Water thoroughly when the potting mix has dried somewhat, allowing excess water to drainaway. Avoid keeping roots constantly wet.
Provide warmth, good airflow and some humidity. Hoyas can be grown indoors, in sheltered courtyards, hanging baskets or trained over small trellises and supports.
Did You Know
Did you know that it's best not to remove the old flower stalks (peduncles) after flowering?
Many Hoyas will produce new flowers from these same stalks, so leave them in place!
