Hoya dolichosparte 'Pink'

Hoya dolichosparte 'Pink' is the label for a pink-flowered form of the species Hoya dolichosparte. The species is an epiphytic plant native to Sulawesi, published in 1916. The foliage is oval, glossy, and green, with a prominent central vein; the margins may be slightly twisted. It has a vining habit, with long shoots. Pink is not a taxon. Under good growing conditions, pale pink or white, star-shaped umbels may appear, with an open corona and a pink-burgundy center. The flowers of the species are horticulturally described as fragrant. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are oval and firm, with rounded tips and lighter-colored veins, especially along the midrib. The margins may be slightly twisted. In bright light, the tissue may develop a bronze tint; this coloration is not variegation. The shoots are long and flexible, hence the species name, horticulturally interpreted as long rope. They can be trained onto a support or allowed to trail.

Flowers and fragrance. The Pink selection is sold for its pale pink or white, star-shaped umbels, with a white or cream corona and a pink-burgundy center. Product photos show pink umbels. The flowers of the species are horticulturally described as fragrant; we do not have a separate fragrance profile for Pink and cannot guarantee its intensity. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.
