Hoya Shepherdii

The Hoya shepherdii, often nicknamed the “String Bean Hoya,” is a striking and easy-care plant that brings a touch of the exotic to any indoor space. Its long, slender, deep-green leaves resemble beans or narrow pods, creating an elegant, sculptural effect that’s perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves. When mature and happy, it produces clusters of star-shaped, creamy-white flowers with a rich fragrance—an irresistible treat for any Hoya enthusiast.

Caring for Hoya shepherdii is simple. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can handle some gentle direct sun, which will encourage stronger growth and flowering. Like other Hoyas, it prefers to dry out between waterings, making it a forgiving option for plant owners with busy schedules. With its unique foliage, low-maintenance requirements, and potential for gorgeous blooms, Hoya shepherdii is both a conversation piece and an easygoing addition to your plant collection.
