Hoya wayetii 'Variegata' D6

Hoya wayetii 'Variegata' is the true variegated selection of Hoya wayetii, an epiphytic vine native to the Philippines. The leaves are narrow, fleshy, and boat-shaped. 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 red-burgundy, pubescent, fragrant flowers appear. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth. The foliage is elongated, thick, and slightly concave, with variegation across the leaf blade rather than silver spots. The proportion of cream, green, and pink varies from one leaf to another. The margins darken in bright light. The variegated areas are more sensitive, so plants should be kept in good light but protected from direct sun.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small, star-shaped, fuzzy, and grouped in umbels. The petals range from dark red to burgundy, while the corona may be red or have 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.

Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

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