Hoya acuta ‘Pink’

Hoya acuta 'Pink' is a vigorous vining form of the acuta complex, developing medium-sized green leaves with a smooth surface and gentle tapering point. The plant produces rounded clusters of soft pink flowers with a deeper pink centre, and the blooms carry a light sweet fragrance. Stems extend readily when warm, creating a graceful climbing or trailing form.

The plant grows well with bright filtered light, warm temperatures and a lightly drying cycle. It responds positively to steady conditions and regular feeding through the warmer months, producing new shoots reliably. Its adaptable nature makes it well suited to typical indoor environments.
