Hoya phuwuaensis (WA Prohibited)

Hoya phuwuaensis is a fine-leaved species forming neat trailing stems lined with small, smooth green leaves. The plant produces clusters of white to cream flowers with pale yellow centres, similar in style to the lacunosa group, and the blooms carry a warm sweet fragrance in the evenings.

This species grows well in warm, bright indoor conditions with filtered light and a lightly drying cycle. Its fine roots prefer an airy, free-draining mix, and growth is most reliable when temperature and humidity remain steady through the seasons.
