Hoya snow ball 10cm pot M21

The Hoya ‘Snowball’ is a beautiful tropical climbing plant prized for its thick, glossy green foliage and spectacular clusters of fragrant white flowers. Its attractive, rounded leaves feature a rich, deep green colour, often decorated with delicate silver speckles that add subtle texture and interest.

A popular variety of Hoya carnosa, the ‘Snowball’ is particularly admired for its impressive blooms. Mature plants produce dense, rounded clusters of delicate, waxy white, star-shaped flowers with contrasting red centres. These spectacular flower clusters resemble miniature snowballs, giving this charming Hoya its name. The flowers release a wonderfully sweet, honey-like fragrance that can fill a room, particularly in the evening.

With its vigorous climbing or trailing growth habit, the Hoya ‘Snowball’ is perfect for hanging baskets, shelves or training around a trellis. Its beautiful foliage, fragrant flowers and relatively easy-care nature make it a rewarding addition to any indoor plant collection.

Care Tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Gentle morning sun can encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.

• Watering: Allow most of the potting mix to dry between waterings. Its thick, succulent-like leaves store moisture, making it relatively tolerant of occasional missed waterings.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm to moderate conditions. Protect from frost, cold draughts and Melbourne's winter chill.

• Fertiliser: Feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

• Pet Friendly: Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
