Hoya verticillata 'Green'

Hoya verticillata 'Green' is the label for a green form of the species, without variegation or splash. The foliage is thick, medium green, and ovate to elliptic. 'Green' is neither a taxon nor a registered cultivar; it distinguishes this material from selections with veining, splash, or variegation from the same group. The growth habit is vining. The flowers are fragrant and cream-colored, with a pink center. Fragrance intensity may vary.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are thick and uniformly green, without a white-cream area or silver splash. Their shape ranges from ovate to elliptic. The veins may be visible, but they are not the main pattern associated with this label, unlike 'Wayang'. Vine length and leaf size vary from one shoot to another.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers appear in umbels and are cream-colored, with a pink center. At species level, the center may tend toward purple, while the corona is often pink. Fragrance is present; its exact character may vary depending on the clone, time of day, and growing conditions. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity.

Identity. The accepted botanical name is Hoya verticillata (Vahl) G.Don. The species is epiphytic, with a range extending from the Indian subcontinent and southern China to western and central Malesia. Hoya acuta and Hoya parasitica are outdated horticultural synonyms, not separate species. 'Green' remains a lot label for the green foliage.

The price is for one pot containing 2–3 plants at different stages of development. Long vines are brittle and may be damaged during transport and handling. The leaves may show transport-related damage.

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