Hoya bella 'Luis Bois'

cultivar

 

The variegation of the leaves of Hoya bella 'Luis Bois' is very nice. The edges are dark green and the centre of the leaves are ligth green or yellow. The area at the centre vein becomes more red, the more light the plant gets. 

Hoya bella 'Luis Bois' grows a bit slower than the plain  green Hoya bella and in my experience it flowers more seldom. Hoya bella needs much light, but no direct sun. Do not  let it dry completely between waterings. In winter it requires less water. I grow my plant in a shaded place in my cooler garden room and
