Meet Hoya australis Blondie—the creamy-edged wax plant with sunny, tropical charm. Her thick glossy leaves bring soft yellow, green and cream tones, with new growth that can blush beautifully in bright filtered light. Easy to style trailing or climbing, she is a lovely collector Hoya with a calm, elegant look.

  • The Formal Name: Hoya australis Blondie
  • The Nickname: Blondie Wax Plant
  • Roots: A variegated cultivar of Hoya australis, a wax plant group associated with warm bright habitats across Australasia.
  • Natural Vibe: Bright filtered light, chunky airy roots and warm humidity, like a plant growing above the forest floor rather than sitting in heavy wet soil.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright indirect light is ideal, with gentle morning or evening sun helping the variegation stay strong.
  • Best Room: A bright shelf, hanging pot, warm windowsill set back from harsh sun or trellis display works well.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant feed or specialist Hoya feed.
  • Tropical Feels: Normal home humidity is usually fine, but she appreciates a little extra humidity and warmth while actively growing.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep warm, ideally 18–27°C, and avoid cold draughts or wet cold roots.
  • Thirst: Let the mix dry partly between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow the pot to drain.
  • Safety First: Not sold as edible – keep away from pets and children who may chew houseplants.
  • The Bedding: Use a chunky, airy Hoya mix with bark, perlite and a little moisture-retentive compost.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from warm stem cuttings with at least one node.
  • Space Needs: Let her trail from a shelf or give her a hoop or trellis to climb.
  • Speed: Moderate in bright warmth, slower if kept too cool or too shaded.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs around nodes, leaf joints and new growth.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed, as Hoyas often flower and grow best when not over-potted.
  • Haircut: Trim long vines to shape, but keep old bloom spurs if they appear.
  • Fresh Air: A bright, easy-going trailing plant with a fresh cream and green colour palette.
  • Plant Lore: Mature Hoyas can bloom from old spurs, so those little flower stems are worth keeping.
