Hoya pubicalyx

Hoya pubicalyx is a vigorous species with narrow, lance-shaped leaves often marked with silver splash across the surface. The foliage is firm and sits along long, climbing or trailing stems, making it suitable for trellises or hanging pots. Flowers are star-shaped, usually pink to deep red with a darker centre, produced in generous rounded clusters.

The plant grows strongly in warm, bright conditions and adapts well to indoor growing. It prefers filtered light, a lightly drying cycle and an airy mix. Regular feeding during the warmer months supports rapid vine growth and abundant flowering.
