• Botanical Origin: Hoya pubicalyx is a species native to the Philippines. It was formally described by botanists Elmer D. Merrill and Edwin D. Quisumbing in 1923. Original publication: Merrill, E.D. & Quisumbing, E. (1923), Philippine Journal of Science 23: 119.

• Leaf Characteristics: Features elongated, lance-shaped leaves with attractive silver splash variegation scattered across the surface. Leaves are moderately thick and slightly succulent, helping the plant store moisture and tolerate occasional missed waterings.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of star-shaped flowers with a fuzzy texture and shades ranging from pink to deep reddish-purple. Blooms are often lightly fragrant, especially in the evening. Individual flower clusters can remain attractive for up to two weeks under favorable conditions.

• Growth Rate: Fast-growing compared to many Hoya species, producing long vines and new leaves regularly when provided with adequate light and warmth.

• 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 thrives approximately 12 inches below a single Barrina T5 lights setup running about 14 hours per day.

• Ideal Temperature & Humidity: Performs exceptionally well in warm conditions around 85°F with humidity near 72%, though it adapts to typical household humidity levels.

• General Hoya Care: Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix and avoid overwatering. Provide bright light, good airflow, and support for climbing vines. For detailed growing instructions, visit: https://hoyatreasures.com/pages/caring-for-hoya
