Common Name: Giant Wax Plant
-
Botanical Name: Hoya gigas
-
Plant Type: Tropical evergreen epiphytic vine
-
Sun Requirements: Bright, filtered light (Essential: Bright, dappled light is the key to maintaining this plant's massive, healthy leaves; avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can stress the foliage).

Soil / Medium: Requires a very chunky, ultra-draining, and airy epiphytic mix (incorporating high-quality orchid bark, perlite, charcoal, and coco chips is essential for this heavy grower).

Watering: Moderate; keep the medium slightly moist but never waterlogged. Excellent airflow around the roots is vital—allow the medium to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root stress.

-
Display Style: A stunning architectural focal point; best displayed where its large leaves can be fully showcased, whether trained on a sturdy, large-scale support or allowed to drape gracefully in a high-quality, substantial planter.
