Hoya compacta 'Dark Pink' developed specimens
Hoya compacta 'Dark Pink' is a new cultivar/clone originating from Thailand. The flowers are satin, and the color varies between pink and deep pink, with a cyclamen center. Unlike the classic clone in circulation, this version has more vigorous vines, with thicker and more twisted leaves, faster growth. New leaves are black/dark purple, as in pubicalyx species.
