Hoya Species, Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower

Hi from Spain (Europe).

If you visit my post on facebook you will be able to read one published these days that talks abou...Read Moret an umbel whose buds are preparing to bloom. The particularity of this peduncle is that the umbel is made up of more than 80 (eighty) flowers. For me, it is an exception worthy of admiration. The photos are very beautiful. As soon as all its flowers are completely open I will publish it on my blog, search in Google: --hoyaspepeuve -- and you will be able to read this extraordinary publication. Thanks

Really a good grower and bloomer. Leaves very interesting with obvious veins...easy. Close! relative of H. carnosa therefore tolerates low temps.

Like H. carnosa, motoskei and pubicalyx this species has a clear yellowish sap not milky white sap as seen with most of the family. Also in common with the above is tolerance to colder temperatures (>4°C [39°F]) though frost is most likely not tolerated.
Flowers are very fragrant during evening hours.
Easy and moderately fast growing.
Sends out long twining shoots which later on grow leaves and possibly flowers.
Can be grown in hanging baskets or trained on trellis.
Use well draining soil, keep well watered. I advise against letting the soil dry out completely as this may induce root rot once soil is re-moistened.
