Hoya Mathilde

Hoya 'Mathilde' is a compact hybrid that combines small, round leaves with scattered silver flecking across the surface. The foliage develops densely along fine trailing stems, making it ideal for hanging displays or shelf edges. Flowers are white to soft pink with deeper centres, produced in rounded clusters with a noticeable sweet fragrance.

The plant grows steadily in bright filtered light and warm indoor conditions, with a lightly drying cycle between waterings. Its fine roots respond well to an airy mix, and regular feeding during the warmer months supports new vine growth and flowering.
