Hoya dimorpha
Hoya dimorpha is a rare and interesting epiphytic species from Papua New Guinea, first described in 1898. It is a vigorous trailing/climbing Hoya, valued for its distinctive yellow flowers and glossy leaves.
The plant forms long vines with lance-shaped, dark glossy green leaves that are thick and slightly fuzzy. The flowers appear in dense umbels of 15-25 blooms, are small (1-1.5 cm diameter), nearly flat, ranging from pale yellow to peachy, with a yellow corona (sometimes with subtle red accents in the center). They have a faint, hard-to-describe fragrance – it is not one of the strongly scented varieties.
Main features:
- Size: medium, trailing/climbing (perfect for hanging baskets)
- Leaf type: lance-shaped, dark glossy green, thick
- Flower type: small, yellow-peachy in dense umbels
- Fragrance: very faint / almost absent
- Blooming period: variable, often summer to autumn
Simple and practical care:
- Light: bright indirect
- Temperature: warm to intermediate (tolerates heat well)
- Watering: allow the substrate to partially dry between waterings (good drought tolerance due to thick leaves)
- Humidity: medium to high, with good ventilation
- Substrate: airy mix for Hoyas (bark + perlite + a bit of sphagnum)
An easy-to-grow Hoya with beautiful yellow flowers and an elegant look – an excellent choice for collectors who want something different and compact! It looks stunning in a hanging basket and is relatively hardy once acclimated.
Fragrant flowers: Yes
