Hoya Memoria

Hoya Memoria Product Description

The Hoya Memoria, also known as Hoya Gracilis, is a stunning and easy-to-care-for vining plant that is perfect for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. Native to the Philippines, this tropical beauty is prized for its elegant foliage, trailing growth habit, and fragrant blooms. Whether displayed in a hanging basket or trained on a trellis, the Hoya Memoria is a versatile and captivating addition to any indoor plant collection.

Plant Characteristics

• Foliage: The Hoya Memoria features elongated, oval-shaped leaves with a waxy finish and subtle silver speckling. The leaves are bright green, and new growth often emerges with a reddish hue, adding a pop of color to its already striking appearance. The foliage is thin yet durable, giving the plant a delicate yet resilient charm.
• Growth Habit: This vining epiphyte grows slender, trailing stems that can cascade beautifully or climb when supported. Its manageable size and graceful growth habit make it ideal for hanging planters or decorative trellises.
• Flowers: The Hoya Memoria produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in shades of pink with red and yellow centers. These blooms are not only visually stunning but also emit a sweet fragrance, making them a delightful feature of this plant. Flowering typically occurs when the plant is mature and well-cared for.

Care Instructions

The Hoya Memoria is a low-maintenance plant that thrives with minimal effort, making it an excellent choice for plant lovers of all skill levels.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and flowering. While it can tolerate medium light, insufficient light may reduce the intensity of its variegation and slow its growth. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. The Hoya Memoria prefers slightly dry conditions over being waterlogged, as its waxy leaves help it retain moisture. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
• Humidity: This tropical plant thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50–70%. While it adapts well to average household humidity, misting or placing it near a humidifier can help it thrive.
• Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or cold drafts, as these can harm the plant.
• Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for epiphytic plants. A combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss works well to mimic its natural growing conditions.
• Fertilizer: Feed your Hoya Memoria with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
