Hoya sp. PNG SV 443

Hoya sp. PNG SV 443 is a collection line. SV 443 is the collection number; PNG indicates the commercial origin in Papua New Guinea. The foliage is succulent, long, and narrow. The small flowers are grouped in umbels; within the same umbel, the shades may range from creamy pink to brick red, with a darker corona. They are fragrant. The parallel label EPC 719 is also used, but it is not a botanical name.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elongated, narrow, and succulent, with a medium green color. Some blades may have subtle silver flecks. The growth habit is that of a vine; the shoots can be trained onto a support or allowed to grow trailing. Foliage length and density vary between specimens.

Flowers and fragrance. The small flowers are held in radial umbels on green pedicels. The corolla is cup-shaped, in shades of brick pink, ochre, or reddish brown; the corona is darker, burgundy. In this lot, flowers in the same umbel may have different intensities, a detail also noted in horticultural records. The flowers are fragrant; a nursery record describes a caramel note, which we do not treat as a guaranteed fragrance profile. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. SV 443 remains a collection number. PNG is a commercial-origin label, not a species identification. We have not found a publication associating this number with an accepted name. EPC 719 appears in some catalogues as the same material.

The decorative 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.
