This hoya
seems to be a variety of Hoya incurvula, which comes from Sulawesi
and was described in 1916 by Schlechter
(syn. Hoya andalensis
Kloppenburg.). |
|
This is a small hoya best grown
hanging. The leaves are thick, light green and somewhat recurved. The
hairy leaves are small, about 2-6 cm long and
1.5-3 cm wide and some leaves look like they have been folded along the
leaf and then straightened out again. It's easy to root, but to get a nice plant you need to
put several cuttings in the same pot. |
|
The flowers
are really small, only about 4 mm in diameter and ball-shaped. The corolla is
brownish pink (sort of striped) and the corona is red with a yellow center. It produces
some nectar and the fragrance can be described as caramel like. The
flowers last only a few days and you'll find 20-30 flowers in an umbel. |
