Hoya lobbii (3″ pot)

Description

This is a non-twining species with an unique growing habit that may look better on a little trellis. It has succulent green lanceolate leaves that sometimes develop in pairs. The leaves sometimes have some yellow to them but it seems to be normal for me. The leaves also sometimes develop silver flecks

Once established, this unique species will reward you with stunning flowers. This clone has pinkish red corollas and dark purple or maroon coronas. My mother plant bloomed after about one year from a small plant. The flowers also last over a week and have a mild but sweet fragrance. A frequent bloomer for me once mature.

This Hoya grows really fast for me and enjoys the heat and humidity. May need humidity in order to bloom frequently/bloom early.

Hoyas require filtered light/bright shade and to be kept a little on the dry side. Protect from temperatures in the 50’s F and colder. Our hoyas are grown outside in south FL year round.
