Description
A variety of hoya celebrated for its dramatic foliage and show-stopping blooms. Native to the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Leaves are large, leathery, and broadly ovate, often measuring 6-8" long and 3-4" wide — noticeably bigger than most common Hoya varieties. Growth is moderate to vigorous, under ideal conditions. It can be trained onto a trellis, moss pole, or hoop, or allowed to spill dramatically from a hanging planter. It tends to grow in flushes, developing a run of new leaves or stems, followed by a period of rest before blooming. Mature plants produce massive umbels of up to 50 star-shaped flowers, each waxy and luminous with a creamy white corolla and pinkish to red corona. Blooms are intensely fragrant, especially during nighttime. Hoyas remain among our favourite indoor houseplants as they are largely drought-tolerant, endures for years in the same pot, grows to epic proportions and propagate easily. Best suited to any small tabletop planter from Bergs Potter. Prefers bright indirect to filtered sunlight. Avoid exposure to direct afternoon sun, as this may scorch and permanently damage leaves. Sensitive to overwatering.
