Hoya waymaniae 'Borneo'

Hoya waymaniae 'Borneo' is a regional form of waymaniae with firm, often broader green leaves and clusters of rich orange to red flowers. The foliage develops a substantial texture along its vining stems, and the striking blooms form compact clusters with a warm fragrance.

The plant does well in warm, bright, humid conditions with filtered light and a lightly drying cycle. An open mix suits its root system, and growth remains more consistent when temperature and humidity are stable. Regular feeding during the warmer months supports new vines and flowering.
