Hoya australis 'Blondie', also known as the Wax Plant, is a captivating variety of Hoya that is cherished for its stunning foliage and aromatic flowers. This specific cultivar is notable for its smaller, more compact leaf structure compared to the typical Hoya australis and its unique, almost golden foliage, making it a beautiful addition to any indoor plant collection. Here's a detailed description and care guide for Hoya australis 'Blondie':

Description

Hoya australis 'Blondie' features small, rounded leaves that are a light green to yellowish color, giving them a bright, cheerful appearance. The leaves are thick and waxy, typical of Hoyas, and grow on vining stems that can be trained up a trellis or allowed to hang gracefully from a basket. Like other Hoyas, 'Blondie' produces clusters of sweet-smelling, star-shaped flowers, which are especially fragrant at night, attracting pollinators in their native environment.

Care Guide

Light

Hoya australis 'Blondie' thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon, but should be protected from harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch. A spot near an east-facing or west-facing window that receives filtered light is ideal.

Water

Water this plant when the top inch of the soil has dried out. Hoyas prefer to dry out slightly between waterings, as their waxy leaves and stems are capable of storing water. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to use a pot with good drainage. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth naturally slows down.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or cacti. Incorporating ingredients like perlite, orchid bark, and coarse sand can help improve drainage and aeration, providing the ideal growing conditions for roots.

Temperature and Humidity

Hoya australis 'Blondie' does best in warmer conditions, preferring temperatures between 18 to 29 degrees Celsius. It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept away from drafty windows in the winter. This plant benefits from high humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. To increase humidity, consider placing a humidifier nearby, misting the plant regularly, or using a pebble tray.

Fertiliser

Fertilize every two to three weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in the winter when the plant is dormant.

Pruning

Pruning is generally not necessary but can be done to maintain shape or control size. Trim back any leggy growth to encourage bushier growth. Be sure not to cut off the peduncles (flowering stems), as these will continue to produce flowers.

Pests and Diseases

Hoya australis 'Blondie' is relatively pest-resistant but may occasionally be susceptible to mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Hoya australis 'Blondie' is a delightful, low-maintenance plant ideal for indoor gardeners who appreciate unique foliage and fragrant blooms. With proper care focused on optimal lighting, careful watering, and occasional feeding, it can thrive and become a cherished part of your plant collection.
