Hoya curtisii (Taiwan) - developed specimens

Hoya curtisii is a compact species with small, spade-shaped foliage covered in silver splash. The species is native from Thailand to the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and the Philippines. The flowers are star-shaped, greenish-yellow or cream, with a pink center, and are fragrant. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions. A rewarding houseplant with simple care requirements. Its textured leaves make it easy to recognize.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are small, thick, spade- or heart-shaped, olive green, with irregular silver splashes. This pattern is splash, not variegation. The intensity of the splash varies from leaf to leaf. The growth habit is compact and trailing. The developed specimens shown in the title describe the commercial stage of the batch.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and appear large in relation to the small foliage. The color ranges from greenish-yellow to cream, with a pink corona at the center. They are fragrant; horticultural notes mention a pleasant, moderately intense fragrance, sometimes compared to citrus. We do not promise a single fragrance profile. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted name is Hoya curtisii King & Gamble, published in 1908. Hoya pruinosa (Blume) Miq. is an accepted species from New Guinea, not this plant. 

Note: some pots are mesh pots, while others are standard pots.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

Substrate: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
