Hoya bella

Hoya bella is an epiphytic species with small, glossy, deep green foliage on thin, trailing stems. It is native from Assam to Myanmar. This lot is a compact specimen, suitable for a hanging basket; the vines supplied are approximately 30 cm long. This is the green form, not a variegated selection. The star-shaped flowers are white with a cyclamen-pink centre and have a sweet fragrance that is easier to detect in the evening. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth habit. The stems are flexible and trailing, rather than vigorous climbing vines requiring support. The leaves are small, fleshy, oval or elongated, and deep green. The approximately 30 cm length describes the supplied lot, not the species’ maximum length. The vines may have mechanical damage or scars.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and white, sometimes with a pink tinge, with a cyclamen-pink corona. They appear in pendulous umbels. The fragrance is sweet and is described as more intense in the evening. Due to temperature fluctuations, flowers may be lost during transport. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The ceramic 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.
