Hoya wayetii D14 - full pots!

Hoya wayetii is an epiphytic vine native to the Philippines, recognized by its narrow, fleshy, boat-shaped foliage. The edges darken or turn red in bright light. This batch is a full pot with several already-developed vines, suitable for hanging. The leaf blades remain green: this is not a variegated form. Under good growing conditions, compact umbels of small, red to burgundy flowers with a honey-like fragrance may appear.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elongated, thick, and slightly concave, with contrasting edges when the light is good. New shoots may have a reddish tint. The growth habit is trailing or climbing. The pot is supplied full, with vines at different stages of growth.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small, pubescent, and grouped in dense umbels. Their color ranges from dark red to burgundy. The fragrance is sweet and described in cultivation as honey-like. The flowers last for several days, depending on the microclimate. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted botanical name is Hoya wayetii Kloppenb., native to northern Luzon. It is known as a “cactus hoya” because of its fleshy foliage. The species is frequently confused with Hoya kentiana, Hoya angustifolia, and Hoya longifolia; these are not synonyms. They can be distinguished by the shape of the leaves, peduncles, and flower color.

Substrate: use an airy, well-drained mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
