Hoya carnosa 'Wilbur Graves' D6

Hoya carnosa 'Wilbur Graves' is a prized cultivar known for its thick, glossy green foliage covered with silver splash-like spots and markings. The markings may be subtle or cover large portions of the leaf, and their distribution varies naturally. The plant produces vines that can be trained onto a support or allowed to grow pendulously. Under good growing conditions, it produces umbels of fragrant, cream-white to pale pink flowers, typical of the species Hoya carnosa.

Characteristics. The leaves are fleshy, opposite and waxy, with irregular silver markings on a green background. This pattern is splash, not variegation. Its intensity and distribution may vary between specimens, between vines and between leaves on the same plant. The growth habit is climbing or pendulous, and the vines branch as the plant matures.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers appear in umbels and have a cream-white to pale pink corolla, with a more intensely pink center. They are fragrant, with a sweet scent whose intensity may vary throughout the day and depending on growing conditions. The flowers last approximately 7 days.

Flowering depends on the maturity of the plant and growing conditions.

Note: The plants’ level of development and branching varies depending on the season.

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