In the hot summer season, many friends like to grow some flowers and plants at home, but due to the high summer temperatures, many flowering plants struggle to get through the summer, so today the editor will introduce a relatively easy-to-grow flowering plant, and that is the "wax flower" (Hoya). Its flower colors are vivid and its flower shape is unusual, giving it great ornamental value, and it can create a fresh and elegant home environment. This flower is beautiful and easy to grow; drop it in soil and it will live, shooting up 2 m tall and scrambling up to cover the wall!

In fact, flower lovers who have grown Hoya all know that it blooms abundantly and beautifully, with the small flowers clustering into a big flower ball and a rich fragrance, and the key point is that it can easily cover a whole wall!

The Hoya flower is in a cyme with an umbel shape, axillary, bearing about 30 flowers; the flower color is white, the corolla is wheel-shaped, the corolla tube is short, and the inner surface has many nipple-like protrusions.

Hoya can grow very well even in the high summer temperatures, because the most critical and most important factor in growing Hoya is that "the environment must be ventilated and have plenty of sunlight." Hoya is suitable for placement on a south-facing windowsill or near a south-facing indoor window in a bright spot, which can keep the leaves emerald green and glossy and produce good flowering. But in the high summer temperatures, prevent direct strong light, otherwise the leaf color easily turns yellow. If we keep it in a place with insufficient light for a long time, the leaf color becomes lighter and the flowers are fewer and less vivid, affecting the ornamental effect.

After Hoya grows side branches and leaves, we can then train it onto the wall, but at this time we must pinch off the growing tips of the Hoya, otherwise it will be difficult for it to grow side branches and leaves. Another purpose of pinching is also to let it form a better-looking shape. Hoya fertilization should mainly use compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer. During the vigorous growth period, fertilize once every 15 days. Before budding and flowering, apply an appropriate amount of liquid fertilizer containing slightly more phosphorus, which can promote more and more vivid flowers. When Hoya has buds and flowers in bloom, do not move the flowerpot casually, otherwise it easily causes bud drop and flower drop.

Growing Hoya is not difficult. As long as you do the above two points well and also pay attention to watering, then Hoya will soon bloom and fill the pot, shooting up 2 m tall and scrambling up to cover the wall!
