Hoya motoskei is a vining epiphytic plant known for its thick, glossy green leaves that occasionally feature subtle silver speckles. It produces clusters of star-shaped flowers, usually white or pale pink with a darker pink centre. These flowers are fragrant, emitting a sweet scent that is particularly noticeable in the evening. The plant's trailing habit makes it suitable for hanging baskets or trained on supports indoors.

This species is fast-growing under the right conditions, preferring environments that replicate its tropical origins. Its ability to thrive with moderate care makes it a good choice for indoor cultivation, especially in spaces with bright, indirect light and consistent warmth.

Native to
Hoya motoskei is native to Southeast Asia, including regions such as the Philippines, where it grows as an epiphyte in warm, humid forests.

Water
Allow the soil to dry partially between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top third of the potting mix feels dry, ensuring good drainage to avoid root rot. During the cooler months, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows.

Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves, but insufficient light may hinder flowering. A spot near an east- or west-facing window works well.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 60% or more. While it can tolerate typical indoor humidity, increasing the moisture level with a humidifier or pebble tray will support better growth and flowering.

Temperature
Grows well in temperatures between 18-24°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 10°C and protect the plant from sudden temperature changes or cold drafts.
