Variant

Hoya nummularioides, also known as Porcelain Flower Hoya, is a charming and somewhat lesser-known species within the extensive Hoya genus. This plant is admired for its compact growth habit and prolific flowering nature. Hoya nummularioides features small, round, succulent-like leaves that are deep green in colour, creating a lush backdrop for its flowers. The blooms are particularly striking: they are small, star-shaped, and typically white with a sweet fragrance that is strongest at night. These flowers often appear in clusters, adding a delightful display to indoor environments. This species is perfect for those looking to add a fragrant and visually appealing touch to their home or office.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Hoya Nummularioides

Sun: Indirect

Hoya Nummularioides should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Low

Hoya Nummularioides will thrive in medium to bright light, but also can tolerate low light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed almost anywhere in the room but remember, plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When mostly dry

Hoya Nummularioides likes the soil to be relatively dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 2 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. droopy, floppy, or soft leaves). Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Hoya Nummularioides will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having Hoya Nummularioides around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Plant Story

Introducing the Hoya Nummularioides, a charming and delightful member of the extensive Hoya family, celebrated for its petite, fragrant flowers and lush, trailing growth. This plant not only adds a touch of delicate beauty to any space but also symbolizes enduring love, the joy of small wonders, and the intricate beauty of nature.

Hoya Nummularioides features small, round, succulent-like leaves that are densely packed along slender, vine-like stems. The leaves exhibit a deep green hue, contributing to a lush, vibrant appearance as the plant cascades gracefully from hanging baskets or climbs along trellises. This Hoya is particularly admired for its compact growth habit, making it ideal for those with limited space who wish to add a green, flourishing touch.

The real charm of Hoya Nummularioides lies in its blooms. The plant produces clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers that are profoundly aromatic, with a sweet scent that can fill a room. The flowers are typically a creamy white with a pink or burgundy center, creating a delightful contrast against the green foliage. The blooms not only add aesthetic value but also attract pollinators when grown outdoors during warmer months.

Caring for the Hoya Nummularioides involves providing it with bright, indirect light, which helps encourage flowering and maintains the health of the foliage. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves. Like most Hoyas, Nummularioides thrives in well-draining soil and prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root issues, so ensuring proper drainage is essential.

This plant prefers higher humidity, which can be achieved through regular misting, using a humidity tray, or placing it in naturally humid areas like kitchens or bathrooms. Despite these needs, Hoya Nummularioides is relatively low-maintenance, making it suitable for both novice gardeners and experienced collectors.

As your Hoya Nummularioides grows and flourishes, it becomes more than just a part of your plant collection—it serves as a living emblem of the delight found in nature's subtleties and the beauty of nurturing life. Its delicate flowers and aromatic presence can inspire appreciation for the small, often unnoticed joys that enrich our daily lives.

Welcome Hoya Nummularioides into your home, and let it serve as a daily inspiration to cherish the little wonders of the natural world, the beauty of growth, and the joy of caring for a living piece of art. It’s not just a plant; it’s a celebration of life’s delicate beauty and the enriching presence of nature in our everyday environments.
