Hoya lobbii

Hoya lobbii is a shrubby Hoya that does not twine around its support on its own. The foliage is dark green and elongated, sometimes with subtle silvery spots, while the stems need support to grow upward. Under good growing conditions, the plant produces umbels of waxy, fragrant flowers in shades of orange, sometimes tending toward red, which can become almost black.

Foliage and growth. The foliage is dark green, elongated, fairly firm, and may feature silvery spots or characteristic coloration. Unlike many climbing Hoyas, Hoya lobbii grows more like a shrub or a vine that does not twine around its support on its own. It needs support to grow upward. Once established, it grows quite vigorously in cultivation.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are waxy, with reflexed petals, and are grouped in umbels. The flowers are fragrant; according to horticultural observations, the fragrance is rather subtle and may vary between specimens.

Botanical identity and origin. Hoya lobbii Hook.f. is an accepted botanical name, published in 1883. Its recognized native range extends from Assam to Indochina, including Thailand.

It features characteristic coloration on its leaves. The decorative pot is not included in the price. Flower color may vary in shades of red-orange.
