Hoya incrassata 'Variegata' (inner variegation)

Hoya incrassata 'Variegata' (inner variegation) is the commercial name retained for this selection with central variegation. The species Hoya incrassata is botanically accepted and originates from the Philippines, not Malaysia or Thailand. The foliage combines a green margin with a creamy-yellow center, and the pattern may differ between leaves. The plant is sometimes sold under the name 'Moonshadow', but its identity under that commercial name cannot be confirmed without the clone's provenance.

Foliage and variegation. The leaves are firm, waxy, and elliptic to oval. The variegation is central, of the inner-variegated type: the margin remains green, while the interior of the leaf blade displays cream, pale yellow, or light green areas. The color proportions may vary between nodes and leaves, and young specimens do not always display the final pattern of a mature plant.

The name 'Moonshadow' appears for similar plants, but it was not automatically assigned to this product.

Growth, flowers, and fragrance. Hoya incrassata is a vigorous tropical vine, suitable for training on a support. It produces abundant umbels with numerous small, reflexed flowers. The corolla is creamy yellow with reddish-brown tips, while the corona is white. The fragrance is strong and spicy, with a citrus note frequently described as lemon; the exact perception may vary.

Green peduncles should not be removed after flowering, as they may produce new buds. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

Height including the pot: approximately 15 cm.

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