Hoya curtisii - full pots - large specimens!

Hoya curtisii is a compact species with small, spade-shaped foliage covered in silver splash. The lot is a full pot with large specimens, suitable for hanging. The species is native from Thailand to the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and the Philippines, where it grows as an epiphyte or lithophyte. The flowers are star-shaped, green-yellow or cream, with a pink center, and are fragrant; horticultural descriptions characterize the fragrance as pleasant and moderately intense. Blooming depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are small, thick, spade- or heart-shaped, olive green, with irregular silver splashes. This pattern is splash, not variegation. The intensity of the splash varies from one leaf to another. The growth habit is compact and trailing, suitable for a hanging basket. The pot is shipped full, with multiple plants at different stages of development. The length of the vines varies depending on the season and the lot. Long vines may have imperfections.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and appear large in relation to the small foliage. The color ranges from green-yellow to cream, with a pink corona in the center. They are fragrant; horticultural descriptions mention a pleasant, moderately intense fragrance, sometimes compared to citrus. We do not promise a single fragrance profile. Blooming depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions, including good light.

Botanical identity and origin. The accepted name is Hoya curtisii King & Gamble, published in 1908. Hoya pruinosa (Blume) Miq. is an accepted species from New Guinea, distinct from this plant. “Full pots” and “large specimens” in the title describe the commercial stage of the lot.

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