Origin and Description:
Hoya lacunosa (variegated) is a striking variety of the Hoya lacunosa species, distinguished by its silver, curved-in leaves. The leaves have a thick, waxy texture and curve inward, giving them a unique, sculpted appearance. It retains the beloved compact growth habit of the species, and like other lacunosa varieties, it produces clusters of fragrant white flowers.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf scorch.
  • Watering: Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60-80%), replicating its natural rainforest environment.
  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix like orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to simulate its epiphytic conditions.
