Hoya australis Houseplant Care — 142 of 365

Mine are in full south sun and they love it. 🎉😊😊😊

I just received mine today. It’s the first Hoya I got. So I’m hoping it will thrive.

I have mine in bright indirect light and she loves it..

I just got one about 3 months ago. It is a decent size cutting from a neighbor with about 20 leaves when I first got it. I actually thought it was a weed lol. I have since grown to appreciate its beauty. It grows fast like a weed and has almost doubled in size!! I have to say I can see changes everyday and it keeps trying to stick to my window. I live in ohio so that will not be good in winter. It is in my west facing window with a metal awning over it so it gets some evening direct sun. It loves it there I have to say. I am going to get a trellis so it has something to grab onto that is not my window. I am a bit afraid to water it but I think the new growth gets a bit delicate and flimsy when it needs water. At least I hope so. I thought it likes to dry out completely but like I said when it is almost dry the new growth starts to feel a bit delicate and bendy? At least I am hoping that is the case and I am not overwatering!

Southern CA resident here growing one south facing by our lightly covered patio. Doing superb at the moment, have had it several months now. Curious about the possibility of it blooming?

I have a hoya australis, and it has tendrils on the top making me think it would be good on a trellis. What are your thoughts?

I live in Cairns, Australia and my hoya A gets great morning sun. Its so happy and grows like a mad thing! Plus it tendrils move around all the time😍😍

I live in Canada and recently got my Hoya Australis. It's growing amazing under my grow light and natural sun (it's get really cloudy here somedays so I use my grow light), but I'm wondering why the two leaves on a node, only one is getting bigger and the other isn't? Is this a normal Hoya thing? What can I do to stop this?

PLEASE HELP. I got my new Hoya about two weeks ago. Nursery said it was thriving. I bring home and the new leaves are not looking as good. Some new leaves fell off to the slightest touch. I have it hanging from a north east window.

My Hoya Australia just started to bloom for the first time. The flowers are white on white with a floral, not chocolate or cinnamon, scent. I was told it was a hoya Australia cummingiana. Would that be correct? I have it growing in an East facing window within a foot from the window. Lots of humidity.

Could you plant different hoyas in the same pot if the hoyas have similar care needs?

Bought my australis cheap from my favourite garden centre (it was in the bargain section). It was in a very dry mix which I changed when I got home, giving it a moist but not wet substrate. Didn't like this at all and two leaves yellowed and were lost. I now have it in an open orchid pot, with a lot of bark in a west facing window. Water sparingly. No new growth as yet but at least it isn't losing any leaves. Treating it much more like a succulent.

Mine was in a east window, no new growth. Betsy begonia suggested more light. I moved her to a west window now she has given out so much growth!😊

I think my H. australis is same as yours. The nurseryman said that it loves full sun, it's okay to be outdoor. But I just place it indoor.

Nice video 😃 thanks

I love Hoya .. I m from Pakistan and I want to buy... How can I get...this

You are starting to drop the “tremendous amount”!!! I will miss it!

Thank you for making these videos! ❤️

I have 3 Hoyas (Carnosa, Obovata and Australis) coiling around an East facing window and they are thriving.

Australis really sucks up a lot of water as their succulent leaves are massive. But then again, mine is in a smaller pot for its size.

Got one of these cuttings. Can’t wait to see how to make it happy. Thanks for the tips. 😁💚🌱

My australis is not as beefy as that, but was noooot happy getting the same light as my other green hoyas. I pulled it back from my west window by a few feet, but it still seems to be one of the thirstier ones in my collection. It's still putting out lots of growth, just without looking sunburned.

I have one in a north facing window, the light also coming in from a gently sloping roof. Like a greenhouse. It has been very slow to break into growth until this year when temperatures have been higher, and it looks fit to grow at last. I would say it needs higher temperatures than Hoya carnosa. How high, I don't know. Hoya bella seems ok high up in the roof with lots of light, and seems ok for more continuous flowering. My Hoya carnosa also high in the roof will have had three flushes of flowers this year. This conservatory is attached to a north wall so doesn't have too much midday sun.

I'll increase the heat this winter otherwise temperatures will drop to 4 to 5 centigrade in some winter mornings.

I'm also growing Eucodonia a lovely plant (gesneriad), some orchids, and ginger. This is raised from ginger rhizomes bought from the supermarket. Lovely huge bright green leaves, and the plant helps the microclimate with its voracious appetite for water.

Where I live in South East Queensland they’re a native plant, I have them naturally trailing up trees on my property. I also bought one from my local landcare for inside the house, and I just put it in a pot with dirt from outside, but it hasn’t grown, even with feeding it worm wee. I think I will change it into a pot with a potting mix like yours. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Summer! This is my favourite hoya because I'm from Sydney, Australia. Here, we can leave it outside all year and grow it in full sun.

As an Australian I love my Hoya australis i have mine in almost full sun and it is thriving. I'd love to see a video on Tassel ferns if you have any Summer 😊

yay! finally a plant that i have . I tried putting them outside where it got direct light in the morning and the underside of the leaves started getting a dark shade. i thought the leaves had burnt and brought them inside, but now i can say for sure they were not burnt as they are nice and plump and doing well!

I have one 😆! Yeay..

Mine thrives two feet back from a southern window with a sheer curtain over it. It’s thirstier than my other hoyas and grows quickly.

I don't have this Hoya yet, it is also on my wish list. Great growing tips and care if I do manage to grab one. Thanks again Summer, see you tomorrow.

Love it

Yay! Just got a Hoya australis cutting too! Thank you for the care tips!

I have several Hoya however I do not have the Australis. I have a few Hoya growing in my northeast facing window (2 Carnosa and 1 Compacta) and others are in my east facing window (propagations). They are slow growers for sure. Love them. Getting a Pubilcalyx Splash in the mail today.

This one grows faster than pothos for me. I bought it at Ikea, about a year and a half ago, and it's about 3x the size now. I moved it around quite a bit, from the north-facing window to a shade on the south-facing balcony to filtered south-facing window. It doesn't seem to mind drier air. The only issue I have so far is that the blooms are not opening. The first one appeared almost 3 months ago and it's still producing new ones. They are all still there (like 10 of them) but none of them are opening...

I love Hoyas thank ...🌞🌞😘😘

Cute

BOOM!!😍
