Hoya villosa D9

Hoya villosa is the label for this lot. The dark green, pubescent foliage has raised veins and pale young shoots. It has a climbing vine habit. The star-shaped, cream or straw-colored flowers, with pink or peach coronas, are fragrant. The commercial title remains Hoya villosa. This page is separate from lots already sold as Hoya globulosa. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and growth. The foliage is oblong or elliptic, leathery, with a thick midrib and visible lateral veins. This foliage is hairy; the pubescence sometimes disappears on older leaves. In this lot, the leaves are quilted and dark green, with cream-green new growth. Each pot may contain several plants. It has a vine habit, not a compact bushy form. The decorative pot is not included in the price.

Flowers and fragrance. The umbels are globose, with many star-shaped flowers. The gallery shows cream-yellow corollas and cream coronas with a peach-colored center. Literature describes straw-colored or cream flowers, with pink or reddish coronas at the base. They are fragrant. The shade and density of the umbel may vary between specimens. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

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