Hoya rubida (developed specimens)

Hoya rubida is an epiphytic vine from the Bismarck Archipelago, with glossy, dark green, elliptic-lanceolate foliage and clearly visible veins. New shoots may be bronze. In this batch, the star-shaped umbels have pale pinkish-purple corollas and burgundy coronas. The flowers are fragrant. Blooming depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions. A rewarding houseplant that is easy to care for. Its foliage and flowers make it stand out in any collection.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elliptic or lanceolate, thick and glossy, with deeply sunken veins on the upper surface. The color is dark green on mature shoots; new growth may emerge bronze or brownish. It has a vine-like growth habit: some specimens are trained on a stake, while others are allowed to trail. Shoot length varies from one specimen to another.

Flowers and fragrance. This batch has star-shaped, slightly pubescent flowers with pale pinkish-purple corollas and burgundy coronas, lighter at the tips of the lobes. They are grouped in dense umbels. They are fragrant; we do not promise a single fragrance profile. Blooming depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Botanical identity and origin. The accepted name is Hoya rubida Schltr., published in 1905. The specimens described in the title reflect the commercial stage of the batch.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.
