Hoya puber (ex. Hoya picta) - exemplare XL

Hoya puber - a rare species, endemic to Borneo, Java, and Sumatra. Although it was discovered in 1827, there are very few correctly identified specimens in circulation.

The leaves are small and pubescent, hence the name Hoya puber. 

The flowers are small in size but impress with their abundance and appearance. They are strongly scented - sweet fragrance - and last up to 6-7 days after opening.

The plant is sensitive to overwatering, especially during the cold season.

Hoya puber has been marketed over time under the names Hoya picta and Hoya aff. picta. It is also frequently confused with Hoya nummularoides.

Synonyms: Hoya picta (incorrect), Hoya pubera (incorrect), Acanthostemma pictum 

Note: Hoya is a plant with long and flexible vines, which may show small damages, wrinkles, or signs of handling due to transport or environmental changes. These imperfections are normal for the Hoya genus and do not affect the plant's health or its ability to grow and produce new leaves.
