Hoya pubicalyx ‘Royal Hawaiian Purple’

Hoya pubicalyx ‘Royal Hawaiian Purple’ is a vigorous, easy-to-grow wax plant prized for its long climbing vines, glossy foliage, and spectacular clusters of deep pink to rich purple, star-shaped flowers with contrasting centers. As the plant matures, it blooms repeatedly from the same flower spurs, rewarding growers with increasingly impressive displays and a sweet evening fragrance.

Light: Bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sun can encourage heavier blooming and bring out darker foliage.

Water: Allow the potting mix to dry partially between waterings. Hoyas prefer being slightly dry rather than consistently wet.

Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient, though 50–70% humidity encourages faster growth and larger leaves.

Temperature: Best between 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Growth habit: A fast-growing climber or trailing vine that looks beautiful in hanging baskets or trained onto a trellis.

Pet friendly: Yes. Hoyas are considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Plant care tip: Never remove old flower spurs (peduncles). New blooms emerge from the same spurs year after year, and mature plants often flower multiple times each season.
