Hoya undulata - the specimen in the pictures

Hoya undulata - rare species endemic to Borneo, Kalimatan, described for the first time in 2015. The name of the species is related to its leaves, which are wavy on the edges.

It stands out for its impressive leaves that give it the appearance of a prehistoric plant - they are covered with a silvery splash that turns pink when exposed to strong light. When it has part of the sun, the plant can become completely red/gray, a phenomenon also found in the case of closely related species, such as Hoya gunung gading and Hoya bhutanica.

It is a variety with relatively slow growth, which does not tolerate excessive humidity well. In the case of an environment that is too humid, the new leaves can stain, and the roots rot relatively easily.

The flowers are impressive, large in size, and according to some sources strongly scented. When the plant has good conditions, it develops and blooms relatively easily. The color of the flowers varies depending on the microclimate and the light intensity in which the plant is grown.

Pot diameter: 9 cm. The plant without flowers. Old leaves show defects.
