Hoya Chelsea live rare house plants in 4 inch nursery planted pot

Finding and adding new hoya plants to your growing indoor plant collection is almost as irresistible as acquiring a new piece of art! The Hoya carnosa ‘Chelsea’ has glossy and puckered, heart-shaped leaves that fill many homes with elegance, beauty, and glamour. The Chelsea Wax Vine will give you bursts of flowers in suitable environments. However, their bloom time is brief, so keep your eyes peeled for their fragrant and fleeting offering. Hoya carnosas are easy-care indoor plants if you have the medium to bright indirect light that they need. They don't require constant watering and do not require high humidity levels. Since the Hoya Chelsea has waxy leaves and is succulent, it will require little water.
Light
The Hoya Chelsea like heaps of bright, indirect sunlight and will be right at home if they can make contact for at least 6 hours each day (indirect contact, that is!). Hoya carnosas can tolerate medium light, but they’ll become weak and leggy and produce fewer leaves in lower light. To encourage your hoyas to bloom, ensure they are close to an east, or north-facing window or set back a few feet from a south or west-facing window.
Water
Let your Hoya Chelsea dry out between watering. Soak the soil thoroughly until the water drains out of the drainage holes. You’ll need to water more when they’re receiving more light, so adjust accordingly. If you find the soil has become compacted, soak the entire root ball in water for ten minutes and this will soften the soil. Avoid over-watering. When the colder months arrive, cut back on watering; in wintertime, only water when their soil is completely dry.
Soil
Almost all types of hoyas need soil with excellent drainage. Hoyas should never be planted in dense soil mixtures with moisture-retaining crystals. You can use a universal potting soil, but reduce the watering frequency when using this type of soil as it will retain water longer causing potential damage to the roots! Nutrient-rich, loose soils are perfect mixtures for Hoya Chelsea! If your soil is retaining too much water, then replant into potting soil that is amended with cactus soil, perlite, wood chips, or coarse sand to help increase drainage!
Temperature
The Hoya Chelsea loves warm environments that range from 65-85℉ - and should be kept away from drafty windows and doorways during the colder months.
Humidity
Although Hoya Chelsea can handle most household humidity levels, they will grow more rapidly when the humidity is higher than 60 percent. Do what you can to increase the humidity for these tropical indoor plants. Try adding pebble trays filled with water under your hoya, group plants together, or use a cool mist humidifier.
For the Hoya Chelsea, a higher nitrogen fertilizer encourages foliar growth. When they’re about to bloom, switch to a fertilizer with higher phosphorus content. Fertilize with a complete liquid fertilizer diluted to 1/4 the recommended strength once a month during the summer. You can also apply a top dressing of worm castings or compost in the spring, as this acts as a slow-release fertilizer. Only fertilize during the growing season (spring through summer).
Growth Rate
A typical Hoya carnosa ‘Chelsea’ can have vines that grow up to 12 feet long with ample light and above normal levels of humidity.
