• Leaves: Small, narrow, slightly succulent leaves with a distinctive silvery appearance that gives the plant its "White Pearl" look. The leaves are relatively thick compared to many houseplants, helping the plant tolerate brief drying between waterings.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of small, fuzzy, star-shaped white flowers. Like many Hoya lacunosa forms, the blooms are known for their sweet fragrance, often described as perfume-like. Individual flowers are small, but the clustered umbels create an eye-catching display. Flowers typically last several days to over a week under favorable conditions.

• Growth Rate: Moderate to fast-growing when provided with warmth, humidity, and adequate light.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to become partially dry before watering again. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.

• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. For indoor growing, approximately 8 inches beneath double Barrina T5 lights for 14 hours daily has produced good growth.

• Ideal Temperature: Around 75°F.

• Ideal Humidity: Around 62% humidity is well-suited for healthy growth and flowering.

• General Hoya Care: Use a chunky, well-draining mix, avoid overwatering, provide bright indirect light, and allow airflow around the foliage. Complete care guide: https://hoyatreasures.com/pages/caring-for-hoya
