Hoya curtisii fragrant flowers D6

Hoya curtisii is a compact species with small, spade-shaped foliage covered in silver splash. 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 corona, and are fragrant. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions. A rewarding houseplant with simple care requirements.

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 leaf to leaf. The growth habit is compact and trailing. The stem may be slightly pubescent.

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 notes describe a pleasant, moderately intense fragrance, sometimes compared to citrus. We do not promise a single fragrance profile. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

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 of this plant.
