hi friends it's wax plant wednesday today's featured plot is the hoya callistophyla
this plot sits in a south facing window it's getting a lot of morning sun
about four to five hours of direct sun in the morning
i featured this plant not too long ago on wax plant wednesday then we saw the peduncle i am
so happy it did not blast the blooms on this plant is really beautiful we also talked about her vine
she had a nice beautiful vine that was lengthening i moved it a little bit closer to the window and
that's worked magic the vine is actually lengthened quite a bit
and there's a peduncle on the vine take a look
although the vine has lentens quite a bit i'm still not going to trellis the vine
it hasn't produced any leaves yet and that's something that i really want to see on this
vine before adding it to the trellis i'm so excited about this vine let's take a
closer look at it from outside you can see that it's completely bare absolutely no leaves yet
this is a south-facing window so daytime temperatures are quite high
the temperature is normally between 25 and 30 degrees celsius
depending on how much sun we get at night time i drop the house temperature
down to 18 degrees celsius i find that my plants really enjoy that warm day cool night environment
one of the things i notice about this plant is it's messy
it produces a lot of happy sap there's sap all over the leaves there's sap on
the shelf and the vines it's amazing to me how much happy sap this plant produces
the blooms are fragrant but it's actually very light unlike my hoya compacta or the hoya astralis
those plants really fill the room with their fragrance this one you really have to get your
nose really close to the flowers in order to smell it it's more of a light flowery smell very faint
i water this plant once a week my home is very dry the humidity is about twenty percent
so once a week really allows this plant to dry out completely before watering and when i water
i add a little bit of fertilizer so i give it a weak solution of fertilizer every week
