Hoya is an incredibly interesting plant. Botany and floweries met this miracle in the middle of the 18th century. And already for more than two hundred years, Hoya (it is often called wax ivy) keeps the attention of professionals and lovers. Articles and books are devoted to this flower, he collects his fans in clubs and communities. And what is curious, interest in Hoye over the years does not weaken, but, on the contrary, it increases. Scientists began to explore the impact of Hoya on the environment and its practical application. And the amateur flower reached such heights that plants were grown at home, which used to culture only in the oranges. What is the attractiveness of wax ivy? First, it is unusual, as if toy, flowers. Secondly, bright, single-color or pedestrian, brown greens on flexible stems. Thirdly, easy. Among Hoya, of course, there are capricious beauties. But even a novice flower model can make friends with a plant.

Long spectacular flower history called Hoya

Motherland Hoya - Southeast Asia, Northeast of Australia and Islands between these continents. She was born in wet and sultry tropics, grows mainly in a sunny palpal or on the edge of the forest. Stems of wild-growing hayi, covered with thick leaves, grow up to 10 meters, for the development they need a support: a high tree or rocky wall. Some varieties lead an epiphytic or semi-epiphythic lifestyle. That is, they can live without soil or, settling at the height, descend the roots and grow into the soil. Wild Hoya are good turbines. Their flowers are attractive and exuded a strong fragrance.

It is believed that Malaysian navigators helped the spread of blooming Liana. They transported not only cargo, but also useful and beautiful plants, and Hoya was among them.

For the first time, Hoya was described in the 17th century by the Dutch missionary Guernius. He spoke about the plant with juicy and stinking flowers.

However, then Hoya did not get into the hands of scientists. It happened more than a hundred years later, in part thanks famous traveler James Cube. His ship passed to the northeast bank of Australia. There, the scientists Solender and Banks found an original plant with fleshy leaves and fragile bunches of colors, as if made of wax. They delivered a strange plant to Europe, putting the beginning of "Khoyuania", which continues now.

For a long time new tropical plant It happened without a generic name, it appeared only in the 18th century. The varieties of the flower were assigned the names of the famous scientists, but in the general name "Hoya" perpetuated by the name of the simple English gardener Thomas Hoya. He worked in the greenhouse of the Duke of Northumberland and managed to tame a lot of exotic plants. It is said that a brilliant gardener intuitively guessed the whims of his green pupils.

In detailed flower growing, over 200 types of Hoya are now grown. These representatives of the tropics have adapted well in northern latitudes. But the study and selection of Hoya are not completed. And the best breeder is nature itself. Scientists detect new types of Hoya on the Islands Borneo, the Philippines and in the 21st century.

Hoy is often referred to as wax ivy. Its leaflets and flowers, as if covered with waxing. And long stems resemble ivy's leaves. However, Hoya has nothing to do with the real Ivy. Ivy, unlike beautiful impostor, never blooms. The only thing to bring them closer is the form. These plants are lianas, and for good development, they need a support or suspended cass.

Different types of Hoya are quite significantly different from each other. But everyone has general signs. These are long well-limiting shoots with air roots. Leafs can be quite large (on average 10 cm) shiny and fleshy or small (2.5 cm) matte and thin. Coloring monotonous dark green or pedestrian, with contrasting spots, dots or border.

Flowers of juicy, collected in inflorescences-umbrellas or balls, almost always remind the stars. But its island can be flat, strongly bent or concave. And the surface of the flower is glossy and smooth or fluffy. Shades of inflorescences will also differ. From the classic white-pink to chocolate-burgundy. Almost all Hoya smells. Opinions about their fragrance are very different. Someone seems enjoyable, and someone repels. Flowers well-groomed hauy long, and sometimes several times a year.

Hoya, despite its exotic species, is not the most difficult plant in caring. At home, this blooming Lian is successfully grown not to one century. During this time, flower trees have accumulated tremendous experience. It is important only to take into account the features of individual types of Hoya. That is good, for a plant with succulent leaves, it is not always suitable for a non-collar variety. This concerns lighting, humidity and conditions of winter content. There are several subtleties associated with the bloom of Hoya. But they are easily fulfilled. So hauy can be recommended even inexperienced flowers.

Hoya is the inhabitant of tropics. And at home, it retained the habits acquired in nature. She still strives for the Sun, prefers more moist than dry air and a sufficiently high temperature. Just about the winter temperature for Hoya, the flower is often not concerned. Traditional point of view - Hoya prefers cool wintering, + 12-16 0 S. But the practice assure: Hoya perfectly spends the winter at temperate 18-20 degrees and even higher. Most likely, right and those and others. For some varieties, for example, carnias with succulent leaves, coolness will be useful. Only then humidity should be low. And the tender Hoya Bella and the winter wants to live in warmth. So creating a climate for your Hoya, consider the natural conditions to which she is used to.

Table: Conditions for Hoya

Flowers advise twice a year, before and after flowering, bathe hauy. A large container is filled with warm (approximately 40 degrees) with water. The plant is dipped along with the pot and keep in water up to 40 minutes. As they assure, after receiving the hauy bath, it blooms better, and the autumn procedure temper the plant.

Transfer

Young Hoya usually transplant every year. But the plant does not like shift the pot. Therefore, adult 3-4-year-old instances transplanted only when there is a need. The roots of the whole land and sprouted in drainage holes, and the flower stopped in development.

In nature, Hoya leads the way of life of epiphyte or semi-epiphith, so at home she needs a very air and porous soil substrate. So that the roots receive enough air and did not suffer from the stagnation of moisture. Power options for Hoya:

• ready soil for orchids or succulents, you can add bursting components;
• equally peat, perlite, coconut fiber and wood bark;
• one part of the soil for succulents, perlite, cut-out sphagnum and pine crust and the half of the vermiculite with the addition of charcoal;
• into two parts of the leaf land in part of the turf, peat, sand and humus;
• in equal shares, a mixture of peat soil, perlite, crushed bark and coconut fiber.

Plastics and ceramic pots are also suitable for Hoya. But in favor of ceramics - good evaporation and high stability. Hoya - the plant is quite affection and often overturns the pot. For long and high-quality flowering, the capacity is needed close, and for the growth of greenery is more spacious.

How to transplant Hoyu?

1. All substrate components for landing disinfect. Corra weld and grind. The rest is hammering, passing or treating a fungicide.
2. At the bottom of the pot with holes, pour drainage (small clay, pebbles, brick crumb). Top a bit of soil.
3. Remove the hauy from the old tank without disturbing the earth com. Install it in a new pot. If the support for Liana is in a pot, put it right away.
4. Sweep the substrate between the pot of the pot and the earthen room, a little tamping. Pay attention to the strengthening of the support.
5. Pour the plant, you can spray it, put it on the scattered light or in the half.

Support troubles

Most of the types of Hoya are drawn pretty quickly. At first her stalks are elastic, but over time becomes brittle. They are easy to damage. Therefore, with young age, Hoya needs reliable support.

Ideally, it needs to be installed during planting or transplanting plants right in the pot. To do this, you can use the arches from the vine or lattice from bamboo and other materials.

Outdoor supports, beep, stretched near, or grid, wooden grid on the wall. Do not prepare for what to hook, Hoya itself will find a support. Most likely, it will be near plants.

Sometimes, especially at first, tapping or wrapping the stems around the support will have to you. Many flower products complain that Hoya is not always grateful to take such care. Loves climbing in the other direction or shoot worse grow. Touching the stems of Hoya, be careful, especially bending shoots. They are very fragile.

Hoya lovers noticed that the plant, which herself wrapped the support, makes the turns counterclockwise. This trick can be used. Cheat the stalks in this direction so that they are better adapted.

Some types of Hoya - Bella and Multiflora are not needed at all. The first is growing like an ampel form, and the second is a reprehensive bush. True, during flowering it is better for something to rely.

Hoya: Home Care

Hoya is considered easy for cultivation. But still some requirements for flowering Liana are. One of them is purity, especially this is important for forms with fleshy leaves. They must be wiped with a wet napkin, so that the plant is better enough to increase moisture and decorativeness. For mellite forms, warm shower will be useful. Only rinsing hauy, cover with a film with a film so as not to overcoat it.

Watering and subordinate

Watering Hoyu, stick the rules: noticeable better than overflowing. Hoya is able to survive a short drought, but the overalling of the soil almost always leads to illness or even the death of the plant.

Between irrigation, the top layer of the soil should be triggered to the roots penetrate the air. In the summer, water as soon as they discovered, most likely it will work out 2-3 times a week. In winter, pass the pause: 2-3 days of dryness will be appropriate, especially during cool air. If the haya is contained in heat, it is necessary to water a little more. And be sure to drain the water from the pallet. Excessive moisture of the roots will not lead to anything good.

For irrigation, harvesting soft (melting, filtered, aquarium, resistant) water. Hoya's cold moisture does not like. Watering water should be slightly warmer than the temperature in the room.

Flowers advise to mitigate water to use peat. Take a piece of about 100 grams, wrap in gauze and immerse in water tank (approximately 2 liters). After a day, get the peat, water for irrigation is ready.

When Hoya is actively growing and blooms, it must be fed twice a month. But you should not cry with food. It is useful for some nutritional deficiency than its excess. Applying mineral complexes (by the way, fertilizers for blooming succulents are suitable for Hoya), dilute them a little more than in the instructions. Nutrient solution of leuta only on the moistened soil to prevent the root burns.

Flowering time

Some varieties of Hoya bloomed a year after rooting, others will need 3 years. Separate species Flower 2-3 times a year, they are dissolved even in autumn and winter. But sometimes there is time, but there are no colors. What is the case?

Most important condition For full bloom of Hoya - bright and fairly long lighting. If Liana grows in a half, it will feel good, but you will not see colors. Try moving it to a lighter place, but better place the backlight. Hoya does not apply to relocation. She is long, and sometimes painfully burns in a new place.

Do not touch Hoy, if buds appeared on it. It can not only be rearranged, but even turn. Stress from change will force her hauy to lose floral kidneys.

Another reason, because of which there is no flowering, - last season you removed old blooms. Hoya prefers that faded inflorescences remained on it. All that is needed, it will reset independently. Therefore, do not touch her after the end of flowering so that it flourishes in a year.

Sometimes Hoya lays bloom due to too poor soil. Try to feed it. And pay attention to the container where the plant lives. If you planted the hauy into the volumetric pot, it will increase the roots and leaves and only after that it will take pictures.

The bloom of Hoya is the phenomenon is the perfect and almost always Pahuchuch. Regarding her smell there is no unequivocal opinion, someone likes, and someone does not tolerate him in the Spirit. But the fragrance is strong and in humans can cause malaise or allergies - this is an individual reaction. If you do not have it, the blooming hauy can stay even in the bedroom. Do not believe the superstitions about this flower. In the east, Hoya is considered a plant that strengthens family bonds and refreshes married relations. And the masters of Feng Shui take her place in the bedroom.

Winter and backlight

It is the opinion that Hoye for the development and qualitative flowering is needed cool (12-16 degrees) rest period in winter. But, as practice has shown, this is fairly not for all types of tropical plants.

Succulent-like Hoya may be glad to be glad. But then significantly limit watering and humidity. And thermal-loving varieties (Bella, retouza) prefer high temperature all year round. They get sick in the cold.

Many flower practices argue that Hoya does not need winter holidays. Of course, she, like other plants, suspends growth at this time. But if with the help of artificial illumination, increase the duration of the daytime until 14-16 hours, the hay will also grow, and sometimes blossom. For highlighting, ordinary incandescent lamps are not suitable, it is necessary to establish simple fluorescent or special phytolampa (flora, reflax). Especially important illumination for rooting cuttings in the fall and winter.

Do you need trimming?

Hoya, growing in the form of lianas on the support, does not need forming trimming. And the sanitary suggests the removal of the raised stems and leaves. But sometimes Liana is reluctant to branch, then pinching the tops and light trimming will help the growth of lateral shoots. Conduct the procedure before flowing or after. But be careful: do not remove old bluers in order not to deprive the hauy future colors.
