About Hoya 'Mathilde'
With over 500 species and even more cultivars, there's a Hoya out there for everyone! They're native to Southeast Asia and their common name, waxplant, refers to their thick, waxy leaves which help them retain water in the heat. They're excellent climbers and will take off if you give them a trellis to grow on. Their other-worldly, star-shaped flowers are often fragrant and come in brilliant shades of red, pink, yellow, and more!

This meme has me 🤣. I imagine this as my plant when I’m looking at it confused as to why they’re struggling and their leaves look so haggard; they’re like, it’s the humidity… duh! Seriously though, it's the remedy for SO. MANY. PLANTS. {Tolerates any humidity level} for tropical plants, especially #Hoyas, is feeling more and more like a lie! "Hoyas are easy, low maintenance plants for first time plant owners." Baahhaahaha... challenge accepted. *Catharina enters... kills her first THREE Hoyas* ✅ So many pebble trays everywhere, check. ✅ Two humidifiers running 24/7, also check. ✅ Hours of research to save ONE two inch plant, so many checks. ✅ Learning, remembering, AND using words I didn't know existed in regular conversation, uhhh... yep! ✅ PlantTok showing up on my husband's TikTok feed because I talk too much about plants, again check! How is this my life? #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HumidityMatters #HumidityIsLife #HowIs70PercentPossible? #FormerHoyaHater #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantMafia #GregGang #CateKills #EasyLenny

I really am just playing it by ear and going with what I’ve seen on reddit but I’m worried im going to kill them. These things are massive and I would love to get them both rooted!
