Hoya verticillata 'Lampung'

Hoya verticillata 'Lampung' retains a locality-based commercial name on the label, not a botanical cultivar name. Lampung is a province in southern Sumatra; the accepted species is Hoya verticillata, a widely distributed epiphytic vine. The foliage in this batch is oval-lanceolate, thick, with prominent veins and variable silver splash. The flower photograph shows a creamy-white umbel with a pink-magenta corona. The flowers are fragrant. This batch is a compact starter plant, kept separate from the other verticillata labels in the catalog. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are thick, glossy, and oval-lanceolate, with an acuminate tip and a network of veins radiating from the base of the blade. The silver splash on the foliage is present but subtle and uneven; it is not variegation. The batch is sold as a starter plant with 2–3 leaves. Height including the pot is approximately 8 cm. The mature growth habit is climbing or trailing.

Flowers and fragrance. A compact umbel with waxy, star-shaped, creamy-white flowers and a pink-magenta corona. Within the verticillata complex, the color ranges from creamy white to pink; we do not guarantee a burgundy center and do not adopt commercial descriptions of a purple umbel. The flowers are fragrant; the scent profile is not standardized. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

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