Hoya Mathilde D9 - fragrant

Hoya carnosa 'Mathilde' is the compact horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross Hoya carnosa x Hoya serpens. The small, rounded, firm foliage has silver splashes that are characteristic of the cultivar, not of a Splash selection. Its growth habit is trailing or climbing. Under good growing conditions, it produces umbels of small, creamy white to pale pink, finely pubescent flowers with a sweet fragrance. A pot may contain several plants, with vines of different lengths.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are small, fleshy, almost round, green, and densely arranged on slender vines. The silver splashes vary in size and density and are not equivalent to variegation. One plant may simultaneously produce more heavily marked leaves and predominantly green leaves. Vine length varies from one plant to another. The price is for a single pot containing several plants.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped, finely pubescent, ranging from creamy white to pale pink, and grouped in umbels. The fragrance is sweet. The shade, number of flowers, and fragrance intensity may vary. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The established horticultural name is Hoya carnosa 'Mathilde'. The documented parentage is Hoya carnosa x Hoya serpens, with Hoya carnosa as the female parent. The hybrid originated in cultivation in Belgium, not as a naturally occurring population.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

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