Hoya pachyclada 'Red Corona' - fragrant flowers

Hoya pachyclada 'Red Corona' is a collector’s cultivar that retains the species’ thick, fleshy foliage and compact growth habit, but is grown mainly for the contrast of its flowers. Under good growing conditions, it produces dense umbels with creamy-white, waxy flowers and crowns marked with deep red toward the center. The sturdy stems and firm leaves give it an almost succulent appearance that remains decorative even outside the flowering period, while its growth rate is usually slow.

Name and identification. The name Hoya pachyclada was published by Kerr in 1939 in Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information, Royal Gardens, Kew.

Characteristics. The species is an epiphytic plant with a compact vining habit. It forms short, thick, succulent stems covered with opposite, obovate, leathery, fleshy leaves. The green leaves may show subtle veins, while the margins can develop reddish tones under certain light conditions. Growth is often slow, but the rate varies depending on growing conditions.

Flowers and fragrance. Fragrant flowers appear in dense, nearly spherical umbels, which may contain approximately 20–25 flowers. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

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

📌 Note: Hoya leaves may naturally develop spots, scars, scratches, growth marks, small tears, dry edges or tips, slight deformations, or other cosmetic imperfections. These may appear during the plant’s development, handling, transportation, or adjustment to new environmental conditions and normally do not affect the plant’s health or viability.
