Hoya mindorensis 'Red' - fragrant (mature specimens)

Hoya mindorensis 'Red' is the red-flowered selection of the species. It has flexible stems and glossy, elongated-oval leaves with a prominent midrib. In bright light, the foliage may develop reddish tones. The flowers are held in dense, almost spherical umbels and are described as fragrant. The title “developed plants” describes the sale stage, not a guarantee of maximum size. The intense flower color makes it an attractive feature on any shelf.

Foliage and growth habit. The stems can be trained onto a support or left trailing. The leaves are thick and deep green, with visible veins. Light coloration is not variegation. Vine length varies from one specimen to another. Some leaves may have mechanical damage or scars.

Flowers and fragrance. The umbels are compact and almost spherical. The corolla curves backward and is covered with white hairs; the corona is star-shaped and deep red, with a lighter center. 'Red' indicates this flower color form; the species also occurs in yellow or pink forms. The fragrance is present and often subtle. The species can flower even when the plants are still young. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted botanical name is Hoya mindorensis Schltr. Its native range extends from the Philippines to northern and central Borneo. 'Red' is the flower-color selection. The wording in the title remains the sales description.

The ceramic pot is not included in the price.
