• Origin: Hoya 'Mathilde' (Inner Variegated) is a variegated form of Hoya 'Mathilde', a hybrid between Hoya carnosa and Hoya serpens. The amount and pattern of inner variegation can vary from leaf to leaf, making each plant unique.

• Foliage: Features thick, succulent, round to slightly oval leaves with creamy-yellow to light green inner variegation surrounded by darker green margins. The compact leaves inherit the attractive shape of Hoya serpens while maintaining the durability and vigor associated with Hoya carnosa.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of fuzzy, star-shaped flowers with pink to blush tones and darker centers. Like the non-variegated Hoya 'Mathilde', the blooms are known for their sweet fragrance and can last for several days to over a week when conditions are favorable.

• Growth Rate: Fast-growing when provided with bright light, warmth, and proper care. Once established, it can quickly produce new vines and foliage.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to partially dry between waterings. Water thoroughly when the mix is approaching dryness, avoiding constantly wet soil.

• Light: Thrives in bright light. For optimal growth and variegation, place approximately 8 inches below double Barrina T5 grow lights for about 14 hours per day, or provide bright indirect natural light.

• Ideal Temperature & Humidity: Prefers temperatures of 70–75°F and humidity levels around 60–65% for best growth and foliage quality.
