Hoya pubicalyx 'Red Buttons' (3-4 plants/pot)

Hoya marketed as Hoya pubicalyx 'Red Buttons' is a collector's cultivar with a climbing habit and elongated, glossy green foliage, sometimes lightly sprinkled with subtle silver splash. New growth may have reddish or brownish stems and leaves, which then mature to green. Under good growing conditions, the plant produces umbels of star-shaped flowers ranging from dark burgundy to almost black, with a red corona. The flowers are fragrant, and the vines can be trained onto a support or left to trail.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elongated, glossy, and leathery. The silver markings are splash, not variegation, and their distribution is usually subtle and not identical on every leaf. New growth may have reddish or brownish stems and petioles. The vines can be trained onto a support or left to trail.

Flowers and fragrance. Horticultural descriptions associate the name 'Red Buttons' with star-shaped flowers ranging from dark burgundy to almost black, with a red corona. The flowers are grouped in umbels and are fragrant; their intensity and color may vary between blooms. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Horticultural identity. 'Red Buttons' is an established horticultural cultivar, frequently marketed as a selection of Hoya pubicalyx. The Hoya cultivar registry treats it as an open-pollinated hybrid, with the parents later reported as H. pubicalyx and H. carnosa, without a published crossing order. The product's commercial title is preserved.

The height, including the pot, is 15-30 cm. Each pot contains 3-4 plants.

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