Hoya shepherdii - 1L / 14cm / Small

$30.00

Ideal for Beginner plant keepers or beyond.

Light Requirements: Bright Indirect Light to Medium light is ideal but tolerates a range of low light to partial direct sun.

Moisture & Soil Requirements: Trailing semi-succulent vine. Prefers light waterings, evenly moist soil with good drainage in warm seasons - never soggy soil. Water when the container feels light or even when the top half of the soil is dry. Prefers small containers to large and likes to be kept a little drier through winter and can even survive going dry.

Growth & Nutrients: Epiphytic (grows on other plants) in nature so has a small root system, low water requirements and small size. Suits apartments or homes of any size. Feed with a general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down.

Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm environments inside and adaptable for nearly any situation, tolerates a range of humidity levels.

Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets and people.

Plant Size Guide

The plant in the photos is an example and an approximate guide only however we try to show an average sized example. Sizes, flowering state and colours change throughout the seasons and variation will occur. In summer & autumn, plants are often larger or the same size as than the example picture but around winter and spring, they can be a little smaller but still at a size similar to the example. We aim to update the pictures to reflect significant differences.

Plant Heights - because the plant's foliage must fit inside our Plant Cartons, the actual height of a plant's central trunk (meristem) will be shorter than the box it fits in.

Small Plants - 14cm wide nursery pot - 1 Litre volume - Plants fit in a 50cm tall box.

Medium Plants -  17cm wide pots either 2L hanging pot or 2.5L nursery pot - Plants fit in a 75cm tall box.

Large Plants - 25cm wide pot, 10L volume. Plants fit in a 100cm tall box.

XL Plants - Plants over 100cm tall in pot sizes specified, 25cm/10L or greater and are hand delivered within Auckland/Northland only.

We may deliver at any time Sunday, Monday, Wednesday or Thursday in Auckland and you need to have a sheltered accessible position for us to deliver to.

Plants in Transit

Each Small, Medium & Large plant is individually contained within its own protective cardboard Plant Carton which may be joined to other cartons in your order.

Plants typically take just a day or two to arrive, however they are usually fine in their cartons for 1-2 weeks, and many can go longer, so a few extra days are not usually cause for concern.

Whether it takes 1 or 7 days, let your plant recover from its journey by placing in gentle light and adding a little water and it will be back to its best within a couple of days. Let us know if there are any major issues via the contact page.

Hoya

Arrived a bit damaged. The box it was transported had slits in it and the leaves were protruding from them with obvious and predictable results. They were damaged. I used to receive a very luscious specimen form Planthouse. May be because of that this plant was not completely awsome. But it is alive and kicking. Thanks

Good plant

This was a little sparse and worse for wear in the pot. It looks pretty silly in the pot at the moment due to plant only having two growth points in there. What was there is healthy though.
