Hoya pimenteliana (Albo / Outer Variegated) | 2-Inch

Hoya pimenteliana (Outer Variegated), also known as Hoya cagayanensis (Albo), is a stunning collector's plant prized for its silky, iridescent foliage that seems to shimmer as the leaves catch the light. This rooted cutting with new growth in a 2-inch pot offers the excitement of watching a rare variegated Hoya establish and thrive in your collection. With elegant foliage, vigorous growth, and easy-going care, it's a rewarding choice for both experienced Hoya enthusiasts and newer collectors looking for something truly special.

• Origin: Hoya pimenteliana is native to the Philippines. The outer variegated form is a cultivated variegated selection of the species. The species was formally described by botanist Rudolf Schlechter in 1908 in Philippine Journal of Science. Publication: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/6979837

• Leaves: Features elongated, narrow leaves with creamy-white outer variegation and green centers. The foliage has a silky, almost iridescent appearance that shimmers when gently moved in the light. Leaves are moderately thick and have an elegant, refined look compared to many broader-leaved Hoyas.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of star-shaped flowers with long, narrow petals that reflex backward, creating a unique spider-like appearance. Flowers are typically pink to reddish-pink. Fragrance, flower longevity, and exact flower size can vary, and reliable published data is limited.

• Growth Rate: Fast-growing under favorable conditions. In my experience, it has been an easy and relatively vigorous grower compared to many collector Hoyas.

• Watering: Water when the potting mix is mostly dry but not completely bone dry. Allow excess water to drain freely and avoid keeping roots constantly wet.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. For indoor growing, it performs well about 8 inches beneath double Barrina T5 lights for approximately 14 hours per day.

• Ideal Temperature & Humidity: Thrives around 85°F with humidity levels of 70–75%.

• General Hoya Care: Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix, provide good airflow, avoid overwatering, and fertilize lightly during active growth. For detailed care instructions, visit: https://hoyatreasures.com/pages/caring-for-hoya
