Hoya latifolia 'Pot of Gold' (Variegata) D9

The leaves are broad and elliptical, with clear veins: the center of the leaf blade is cream-yellow, while the margins remain green. The width of the golden band varies from one leaf to another. This is not the white-edged 'Albomarginata' form. Under good growing conditions, umbels with small, pale pink, fragrant flowers may appear. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions. Care is simple, and the plant grows steadily.

Foliage and growth. The foliage is thick and elliptical, with veins that segment the leaf blade. The variegation is internal: the cream-yellow tissue is located in the middle of the leaf, not along the edge. Some leaf blades are almost entirely filled with gold, while others retain a narrow band. The plant has a vining habit; the stems may remain bare in some sections. The price is for one pot containing 2–3 plants at different stages of growth. Some leaves may have transport damage.

Flowers and fragrance. The gallery features umbels of small, star-shaped, waxy, pale pink flowers with an orange-pink corona. The color may vary toward cream or pale yellow. They are fragrant; no single fragrance note is specified. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted botanical name of the species is Hoya latifolia G.Don, published in 1837.

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