Hoya dimorpha

Hoya dimorpha is a climbing species from New Guinea, valued for its elongated foliage and nearly flat flowers arranged in umbels. Mature leaves are dark green with visible veins, while new growth may have a lighter, glossy appearance. The flowers can range from pale yellow to peach tones, sometimes with a slight reddish hue in the center, and may have a very subtle fragrance. It is an interesting choice for collections focused on botanical species.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elliptic to lanceolate, firm, with a smooth or slightly glossy surface and darker veins on mature specimens. The plant forms climbing vines and can be trained on a support or allowed to grow trailing. Leaf appearance and size may vary depending on maturity and growing conditions.

Flowers and fragrance. It produces umbels of small, nearly flat flowers in shades ranging from pale yellow to peach. The fragrance is reported to be weak and difficult to define; its intensity may vary between blooms and depending on the time of day.

Botanical identity and origin. The accepted botanical name is Hoya dimorpha F.M.Bailey. The species was published in 1898 and is native to New Guinea, where it occurs as a climbing plant in the humid tropical biome.

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