Hoya wayetii 'Variegata' - full pots D14

Hoya wayetii 'Variegata' is the true variegated selection of the species Hoya wayetii, an epiphytic vine native to the Philippines. This is a full pot with several established vines, suitable for hanging. The foliage is narrow and fleshy, with a boat-like shape. The central area may be cream, yellow, or pink, while the margins remain green and may turn burgundy in bright light. Under good growing conditions, compact umbels of pubescent, fragrant red-burgundy flowers appear. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth. The foliage is elongated, thick, and slightly concave. The variegation is present on the leaf blade, not in the form of silver spots. The center may be cream, yellow, or pink, while the margins remain green. The color balance varies from one leaf to another and from one vine to another. In bright light, the margins become darker or develop a burgundy tint, and the shoots may turn reddish. The variegated areas are more sensitive. Keep plants in bright light, protected from direct sun.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small, star-shaped, and fuzzy, grouped in compact umbels. The petals range from dark red to burgundy, while the corona may be red or feature yellow accents. They are fragrant; in cultivation, the scent is described as sweet and honey-like. The flowers last for several days, depending on the microclimate. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted botanical name is Hoya wayetii Kloppenb., native to northern Luzon. 'Variegata' is the label for the variegated form. It is also known as “cactus hoya” because of its fleshy foliage, not as a watering guideline.
