Description
A dainty and uncommon hoya with painterly foliage. Slender, elongated, lanceolate leaves bear silver flecks throughout — akin to an overall texture. Tinged pink while immature, foliage deepens to a rich olive green with time; and becomes aubergine when sun-stressed while silver markings intensify. May be trained up a support or left to cascade in a dense curtain of growth. Hoyas — aka "wax plants," thanks to their thick, waxy leaves — are among our favourite indoor houseplants. The species is largely drought-tolerant, endures for years in the same pot, grows to epic proportions, propagates easily, and produces recurring clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers in ideal growing conditions. Best suited to any medium tabletop planter 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.
