Hoya sp. bintulu (WA Prohibited)

Hoya sp. 'Bintulu' is an unidentified Malaysian species with elongated green leaves and a lightly vining growth habit. The foliage has a smooth surface and a medium texture, and the plant produces rounded clusters of pink to cream flowers with slightly deeper centres. Blooms carry a light scent and sit neatly along the stems.

This plant prefers warm temperatures, bright filtered light and a lightly drying cycle. Its growth is steady when conditions remain stable, and the fine roots benefit from an airy potting mix. Regular feeding during the warmer months supports new shoots and flowering.
