Hoya crassipetiolata (Inner Variegated) | 2-Inch

Hoya crassipetiolata (Inner Variegated) is a stunning collector’s plant prized for its creamy yellow-to-cream variegation that transforms each leaf into a living work of art. This rooted cutting with new growth in a 2-inch pot offers the opportunity to grow a highly sought-after variegated Hoya from an early stage. Its compact growth habit and closely spaced leaves create a fuller appearance over time, making it an eye-catching addition to any Hoya collection.

• Plant Origin: Hoya crassipetiolata is a species native to the Philippines. The inner variegated form is a cultivated variegated selection of this species. Scientific description: Kloppenburg, R.D. (2001). Hoya crassipetiolata. Published in Fraterna. Additional taxonomic information is available through the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Plants of the World Online: https://powo.science.kew.org/

• Leaves: Thick, succulent-like leaves with beautiful cream to yellow variegation concentrated toward the center of the leaf. The foliage is substantial and durable, while the naturally short internodal spacing of this highly variegated form creates a compact, attractive growth habit.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of star-shaped flowers typical of Hoya crassipetiolata. Flower color, fragrance intensity, bloom size, and bloom longevity can vary depending on growing conditions.

• Growth Rate: Slow-growing compared to the standard green form, which is common among highly variegated Hoyas. The slower growth is balanced by exceptional foliage coloration.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to partially dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess moisture to drain away.

• Light Requirements: Prefers bright indirect light. For indoor growing, this plant performs well approximately 8 inches below double Barrina T5 lights for about 14 hours per day. Adequate light helps maintain strong variegation and compact growth.

• Ideal Temperature & Humidity: Thrives around 85°F with humidity levels between 70–75%. It can adapt to lower household humidity, but generally grows best with elevated humidity.

• General Hoya Care: Plant in a chunky, well-draining mix and avoid overwatering. Provide bright indirect light, good airflow, and warm temperatures for best results. For detailed care instructions, visit: Hoya Care Guide
