The Hoya Australis is a lovely indoor plant celebrated for its attractive foliage and ease of care. This 2.5-inch plant features oval-shaped leaves with a deep green color that can sometimes show hints of silver. Its compact size and charming appearance make it a wonderful addition to any plant collection.
Hoya Australis thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering.
