Hoya globulosa (Cao Bang), formerly Hoya villosa (Cao Bang), was described by Sir Joseph Hooker and was newly introduced from the Sikkim Himalaya. It is a type of stove climber Hoya with pale straw or cream-colored flowers and pink coronal appendages.

Hoya globulosa (Cao Bang) bears flowers in clustered heads, with a very pleasant scent similar to that of a Turk's-cap Lily. The plant's oblong leathery leaves are rounded at the base and taper to a point at the apex.

Researchers have documented its remarkable ability to imitate the fly-catching behavior of its close relative, Apocynum. Evidence suggests that this variety may tolerate temperatures lower than some of its kin.

Amazing!

"I absolutely love my new plant! Beautiful as always!"

— Shelley A. (5/5)

My New Favorite

"Hoya globulosa (Cao Bang) is an absolutely gorgeous Hoya. The leaves are dark green with prominent veining. I had been waiting for this Hoya to become available and was thrilled when UPT contacted me that it was back in stock. I am happy with my purchase."

— Cathi J. (5/5)

Velvet Leaves

"WOW! What a unique, beautiful & tactile plant. The underside of the leaves feel like velvet. The newer leaves are medium green with almost black veins. The older leaves loose their sheen & become a dull greenish black, but still quite stunning. This a plant that plays with your senses. A nice addition to any collection. If you are on this site the quality goes unsaid. Feed your obsession."

"Oh my word! When I opened my package and saw my purchase I couldn’t stop smiling and got a little misty eyed. She is much more than I expected. Of course shipping was fast and packed expertly. April and staff never disappoint."

Holy Huge Hoya!

"Okay, okay, okay…. I was definitely not expecting to get a full sized plant! To my my amazement and surprise, that is exactly what I received. When I picked up the box from my front step, I thought to myself, hmmm, I wondered, I don’t remember ordering a trellised plant. The box was long, like the ones you get when UPT sends a trellised plant. I opened the box, gently took out the fluff, and literally cried. With tears streaming down my face I was in total shock! I was like no f-ing way! A completely trellised H. Globulosa. My small little cutting had lost it leaves, and I wanted a replacement, because oh, the fuzziness of love! I received more than just a replacement, I received an entire plant! I am so beyond happy and grateful. I look at the beauty that is H. Globulosa every morning I wake up and still in awe of all her glorious beauty! Of course the packaging is always impeccable and the care in shipping is quick and beyond compare. I hope I can do this Hoya justice. She is already putting out new leaves. My heart is so happy! Thank you to every single person who make UPT happen. Us Hoya lovers are extremely grateful!"
