Name: Grass‑Leaf Hoya, Thread‑Leaf Hoya
Scientific Name: Hoya retusa
Family Name: Apocynaceae
Product Description:
Hoya retusa is a distinctive, trailing epiphytic species known for its thin, grass‑like leaves that give it a delicate, airy appearance unlike any other Hoya. The leaves are narrow, flat, and slightly notched at the tips, arranged sparsely along long, wiry stems that drape elegantly from hanging planters. Mature plants produce small, white, star‑shaped flowers with a deep red center, often appearing singly rather than in large clusters. Its minimalist foliage and charming blooms make it a favorite for collectors who appreciate unusual growth forms.
Origination: Native to India and Southeast Asia
Historic Uses: Ornamental houseplant, collector’s specimen
Height: Trailing stems 2–4+ feet with support or hanging growth
Hardiness: USDA Zones 10–12 (grown indoors elsewhere)
Flower Color: White with a deep red center
Other Names: Grass‑Leaf Hoya, Thread‑Leaf Hoya
Growing Conditions:
Grow in bright, indirect light. Prefers airy, well‑draining soil and moderate watering—allow the top layer to dry between waterings. Appreciates humidity and warm temperatures. Ideal for hanging baskets or high shelves where its long, thread‑like stems can cascade naturally.
Ships in 3.5" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
