This hoya comes from the
Philippines and it was described in 1844. |
|
This hoya is best to trim around
a trellis or grown as a hanging basket. Trimming it around a trellis
needs a lot of help and sometimes a little force, but it can be worth
the effort. The leaves are small, elliptic, about 2-3 cm long and 1.5-2
cm wide. The leaves are light green and have a rather dull surface. |
|
The flowers mostly grow at the
tips of the vines and the colour is yellow, sometimes closer to orange
and they have a red center. Each umbel has 7-10 reflexed flowers, about
1.5 cm and have a citrus fragrance mixed with coconut. They
last about a week and have very little nectar. The peduncles fall off
after each flowering. |
