Hoya white dragon (single plant)

Description

The Hoya White Dragon is a popular houseplant known for its striking appearance. It’s a variety of the Hoya genus, which is famous for its waxy, star-shaped flowers and thick, glossy leaves. Here are some key features and care tips:

Key Features:

1. Leaves: The leaves are typically thick, succulent-like, and often have a distinctive shape and color pattern. The White Dragon variety may have variegated leaves with a mix of green and white.
2. Flowers: Hoya plants are known for their beautiful, fragrant flowers that resemble small stars. These blooms are usually white or light-colored with a contrasting center.
3. Growth Habit: Hoyas are generally vining plants, which means they can be trained to grow on trellises or allowed to trail from hanging baskets.

Care Tips:

1. Light: Hoyas prefer bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can slow their growth and reduce flowering.
2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to err on the side of underwatering.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for succulents or cacti. Hoyas prefer soil that doesn’t stay soggy.
4. Humidity: Hoyas enjoy higher humidity levels, but they can tolerate average household humidity. You can mist the plant occasionally or use a humidity tray.
5. Fertilizing: Feed your Hoya with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
6. Temperature: These plants prefer temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
