Hoya vitiensis — a Fijian/Pacific Islands species with thick, glossy leaves and a relatively compact climbing habit. Less common in cultivation than its Southeast Asian relatives; appreciates warmth and consistent humidity. What you'll receive: Choose your form above. Grower's choice unless otherwise noted in the variant selection — we hand-select a healthy specimen; exact size, leaf count, and patterning vary between individuals. Unrooted cuttings & newly rooted plants: potted in our rooting medium (moss petals, perlite, tree fern fiber, small Orchiata, myco). Cuttings can be shipped bare/in damp moss instead — message us at the time of order if you'd prefer that. Established plants: potted in tree fern fiber, perlite, coconut husk, myco (occasionally moss petals), with slow-release 14-14-14 fertilizer balls. Care: Light: Bright, indirect Water: Slightly underwatered; let dry partway between waterings Humidity: 50% tolerated; 60%+ encourages stronger leaf expression and faster growth Peduncles: Don't disturb flower spurs once they appear — Hoyas rebloom from the same spot year after year Insulation and/or Heat Pack strongly recommended for shipping when temperatures drop below 50°F.For pest prevention I use beneficial insects, and otherwise treat with natural, chemical-free products like PureCrop1.Display photos may be of mother plants or prop pots and do not represent the plant size — please review the size variants before purchasing.A note on roots: Unless a listing explicitly states that a plant is well established, please treat any plant offered as "rooted" as newly rooted. I group-propagate and split my plants, so a plant may have recently been separated from its group prop pot — meaning its roots may not yet reach the sides or bottom of the pot. This is here to avoid any disagreements over what "rooted" means from one grower to the next. Show more
