Hoya graveolens (Hoya oblongacutifolia) - mature specimens

Hoya graveolens (Hoya oblongacutifolia) is sold under both names shown in the title. It is an epiphytic species native to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, appreciated for its oblong, dark green foliage and rapid flowering, including on still-small specimens. The white, pubescent flowers, with a pink corona, are fragrant. The product is offered as established specimens. The vines can be trained onto a support or left to grow pendulously.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are oblong-ovate, firm, and dark green, sometimes with subtle spots. The size and proportions of the foliage vary naturally. The plant forms sturdy stems with a climbing or pendulous habit and can be trained onto a support from a young age.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small, white, and pubescent, grouped in umbels, with a pink corona. They are fragrant; the intensity and perception of the scent may vary. Cultivation observations indicate that flowering can occur even on small plants, not only on very mature specimens.

Botanical identity and origin. The commercial title retains Hoya graveolens Kerr (1939) alongside Hoya oblongacutifolia Costantin (1912). 2017. We do not replace the sales label. The species is native to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, where it grows as an epiphyte in a humid tropical biome.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

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