Hoya pubicalyx is a fast-growing and hardy Hoya species known for its long, trailing vines, waxy leaves, and beautiful, fragrant flowers. Native to the Philippines, it is a popular choice among Hoya enthusiasts due to its ease of care and stunning blooms.

 

Key Features:

 

1. Foliage: Elongated, glossy green leaves with silver speckles, giving them a unique, shimmering appearance. The leaves are thick and slightly succulent, storing moisture.

 

 

2. Growth Habit: A vigorous climber or trailer that can grow several meters long if supported with a trellis or allowed to cascade.

 

 

3. Flowers: Produces clusters of star-shaped, pink to dark burgundy flowers with a velvety texture. The blooms are fragrant, especially in the evening, with a sweet scent.

 

 

 

Care Tips:

 

1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light may hinder growth and flowering.

 

 

2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water more frequently during the growing season and less during winter dormancy. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

 

 

3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50-70%). It can tolerate average household humidity but benefits from occasional misting in drier environments.

 

 

4. Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect it from temperatures below 10°C (50°F) and cold drafts.

 

 

5. Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite is ideal, mimicking its natural epiphytic conditions.

 

 

6. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a bloom booster fertilizer for enhanced flowering.

 

 

7. Pruning: Prune to control size, encourage bushier growth, or remove dead or damaged leaves. Avoid cutting peduncles (flower stems), as Hoya pubicalyx re-blooms from the same spots.

 

 

 

Additional Notes:

 

Propagation: Propagates easily through stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water or moist soil to root.

 

Blooms: Flowering may take 1-2 years under optimal conditions, but the spectacular blooms and fragrance are worth the wait.

 

Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs, aphids, or spider mites. Regular cleaning and inspection help prevent infestations.

 

Non-Toxic: Safe for pets and humans, making it a great choice for households with animals.

 

 

Hoya pubicalyx is a low-maintenance plant that adds elegance and beauty to any indoor or outdoor space. Its glossy leaves and fragrant flowers make it a favorite for Hoya collectors and beginner plant enthusiasts alike.
