Hoya Iris Marie

Hoya 'Iris Marie' is a cultivated form with broad, smooth green leaves and a sturdy vining habit. The foliage develops a firm texture and clear veining, and the plant produces rounded clusters of soft pink to pale cream flowers with a deeper-toned centre. The blooms carry a gentle sweet fragrance, adding to the plant's ornamental appeal.

This plant responds well to bright filtered light, warm temperatures and a lightly drying cycle. It grows steadily when conditions remain stable and benefits from regular feeding during the warmer months to support new vines and flowering. Its adaptable nature makes it well suited to indoor environments.
