Hoya 'Mathilde' | 2-Inch

Meet Hoya 'Mathilde', a charming hybrid prized for its compact growth, beautiful foliage, and easy-going nature. Offered as a rooted cutting with active new growth in a 2-inch pot, this fast-growing Hoya quickly develops into an attractive trailing basket, climbing specimen, or a combination of both. Its small, thick leaves are deep green with delicate silver splashing, giving the plant a distinctive look even when it's not in bloom. Whether you're just starting your Hoya collection or adding another favorite to your shelves, Hoya 'Mathilde' delivers beauty, versatility, and rewarding growth.

• Origin: Hoya 'Mathilde' is a hybrid between Hoya carnosa and Hoya serpens, combining the vigor of carnosa with the compact foliage of serpens. The hybrid was created by renowned Hoya breeder Emilio Begine. Additional information about the parent species can be found through the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew's Plants of the World Online database.

• Foliage: Features small, thick, succulent-like dark green leaves adorned with attractive silver splashing. The leaves are durable, store moisture well, and create a lush, full appearance as the plant matures.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of fuzzy, star-shaped flowers with soft pink tones and darker centers. The blooms are lightly fragrant and can last for several days to weeks under favorable conditions, making each flowering cycle especially rewarding.

• Growth Rate: Fast-growing when provided with proper care. This cultivar quickly develops trailing vines and can be trained to climb a trellis, making it an excellent choice for creating a full display in a relatively short time.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry partially between waterings. The thick leaves help store moisture, making Hoya 'Mathilde' more forgiving of occasional missed waterings than many common houseplants.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. For optimal growth, place approximately 12 inches below a single Barrina T5 grow light for about 14 hours per day.

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives at temperatures between 70–75°F with humidity levels around 60–65%. It can adapt to average household conditions but performs best with consistent warmth and moderate humidity.
