Hoya carnosa 'Stardust' D6

Hoya carnosa 'Stardust' is a cultivar prized for its thick, glossy green foliage, speckled with silver splash-like dots and patches. The markings may be subtle or cover large areas of the leaf, and their distribution varies naturally. The plant produces vines that can be trained on a support or left to trail. In good growing conditions, it produces umbels of fragrant, creamy-white to pale pink flowers, typical of the species Hoya carnosa.

Characteristics. The leaves are fleshy, opposite, and waxy, dusted with silver flecks on a green background. This pattern is splash, not variegation. Its intensity and distribution can vary between specimens, between vines, and between leaves on the same plant. The plant has a climbing or trailing habit, and its vines branch as it matures.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers appear in umbels and have a creamy-white to pale pink corolla with a deeper pink center. They are fragrant, with a sweet scent whose intensity may vary throughout the day and depending on growing conditions. The flowers last about 7 days.

Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Note: The plants’ growth and branching vary depending on the season.

Potting mix: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional potting mix for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
