Hoya insularis

Hoya insularis is an accepted botanical species from Borneo, notable for its climbing habit and very narrow foliage. Originally known as Anatropanthus borneensis, it was included in the genus Hoya in 2020 based on phylogenetic research. The compact format is suitable for those who prefer to watch the plant develop from a more limited stage, with the same botanical identity. Its firm leaves and calm growth rate make it easy to care for.

Foliage. The leaves are long, narrow, and flat, giving the plant a delicate silhouette. In brighter light, the dark green foliage may develop purple tones. Uniform or gradual pigmentation differs from sunburn, which leaves discolored, dry, and permanent areas.

Flowers. The inflorescences are easy to recognize by the flowers arranged at the ends of long pedicels in a radial pattern. Shades may range from pale yellow to peach and pink. The flowers are fragrant; the fragrance intensity, color, and shape of the overall cluster may naturally vary depending on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Commercial note. This offer is the compact format, distinct from the page dedicated to developed specimens. The appearance and foliage density vary among living plants. 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.
