Hoya latifolia 'Albomarginata' (round leaf) D12

Hoya latifolia 'Albomarginata' (round leaf) is the label for material from the species Hoya latifolia with variegation along the leaf margins and broad, almost rounded blades. The center remains green, with clear palmate veins, while the border is cream to white. It has a vining growth habit. Under good growing conditions, umbels with small, star-shaped, cream-pink flowers may appear. The flowers are fragrant. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage. The foliage in this lot is broad and oval, with a short tip, not long and narrow. The variegation is marginal: the cream-white tissue is located along the border, not in the middle of the leaf blade. The width of the light-colored band varies from one leaf to another. Young shoots and petioles may be pink. 'Pot of Gold' and other forms with internal patterns are a different SKU.

Flowers and fragrance. The species' flowers are small, star-shaped, and grouped in umbels. Cultivation sources describe them as pale green, yellow, or pink; the gallery image shows cream-pink umbels with a darker corona. They are fragrant; we do not specify a single scent note. The number of flowers per umbel varies. Blooming depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted name is Hoya latifolia G.Don, published in 1837. Its native range extends from Myanmar to western Malesia (including Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Malaya, and Thailand), not a range limited to Borneo and Java. It is also circulated as Hoya macrophylla 'Albomarginata'; one gallery image retains this label. Hoya macrophylla Wight is an illegitimate homonym of this species. Hoya macrophylla Blume is a different name. The title is not changed.

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.

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