Hoya serpens in 7 cm pot

Hoya serpens

Hoya serpens is a charming and compact trailing Hoya with soft, round, slightly fuzzy leaves and a creeping growth habit. Native to the Himalayas, this species is a true gem for collectors—its miniature foliage contrasts beautifully with clusters of pale green flowers tipped with white and pink, which exude a sweet fragrance.

Perfect for small hanging pots, terrariums, or elevated shelves, Hoya serpens thrives in bright, filtered light and rewards patient growers with delicate blooms and trailing vines. It’s a slower grower but well worth the wait for those who love rare and unusual plants.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun
• Water: Let soil mostly dry between waterings; water less in cooler months
• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity preferred—mist occasionally or use a humidity tray
• Considerations: Use a chunky, free-draining mix; prefers to be slightly root-bound
