Hoya 'Wibergiea Pink Crush' (DMW-001-U) [verticillata (ex. wibergiea) x unknown] | 2-Inch

Hoya ‘Wibergiea Pink Crush’ is a standout selection from a group of open-pollinated seedlings grown by collector David M. Weprin (DMW), who selected only four unique plants to introduce and propagate. This rooted cutting with new growth in a 2-inch pot offers collectors an uncommon twist on traditional verticillata, featuring slender, pointed leaves and beautiful pink-toned splash coloration when grown under bright light. Its vigorous growth and easy-going nature make it a rewarding addition for both newer growers and experienced Hoya enthusiasts.

• Origin: Hoya ‘Wibergiea Pink Crush’ is a selected seedling from an open-pollinated Hoya verticillata (formerly known as Hoya wibergiae) in David M. Weprin’s collection. Four distinctive seedlings were selected for cultivation and propagation, and this is one of those selections. Information about Hoya verticillata can be found through the scientific resource maintained by the Plants of the World Online (Kew Gardens).

• Leaves: Features narrower, more elongated, and more pointed leaves than a typical Hoya verticillata. The foliage develops attractive silver splash markings that can blush pink under higher light conditions, creating a constantly changing display. Like many Hoyas, the leaves are succulent and designed to store moisture, making the plant forgiving between waterings.

• Growth Rate: Fast-growing and easy to cultivate, making it ideal for growers who enjoy seeing steady progress and new vines develop throughout the growing season.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to partially dry between waterings. The succulent leaves help store water, reducing the need for frequent watering while helping protect against occasional missed watering days.

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. For strong growth and enhanced pink coloration in the splash, this plant is grown approximately 8 inches beneath double Barrina T5 lights for 14 hours per day.

• Ideal Temperature & Humidity: Performs well around 75°F with approximately 62% humidity. These conditions encourage healthy growth, strong roots, and vibrant foliage coloration.

• General Hoya Care: Plant in a well-draining mix, provide bright indirect light, avoid overwatering, and maintain good airflow. For detailed growing instructions, visit Hoya Care Guide.
