The Hoya australis is also known as the Waxvine and Common Waxflower is a part of the highly coveted Hoya family. It is a vine found on the edges of rainforests and rocky areas throughout Australia. Hoyas are often been featured in magazines including Architectural Digest as a less common vining plant that is developing a cultlike following.
Sun: Hoyas can take the hot direct sun and perform best in this light.
Water: They want to get nice and dry between waterings. Expect to water them every 4 weeks in the winter and every other week in the spring/summer.
Humidity: Normal humidity is fine but it won't enjoy getting hot dry air blow on it in the winter or being right beside your cool ac vent in the summer.

How to care for your
Hoya australis
About care instructions
Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.
Water: 1-2 weeks
Let the soil dry out 50-70% between watering. You can either stick a chopstick or your finger in to make sure the top at least 2 inches of soil are dry or lift the pot to see if it feels a bit light. Water thoroughly and make sure to pot in well-draining soil with drainage holes. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 1-2 weeks.
Sun: direct light
This plant wants as much sun as you can give it—place in south, west, or unobstructed east-facing window. Direct light means 8+ hours of direct sun. Anything less, and you might want to consider a grow light. In the summer, you can put it outside in direct sunlight
Humidity: medium
This plant requires moderate humidity. Most households should be fine. Around 20-40% humidity works. It will be happy with more as well.
