Hoya buotii (IML1862) |

Published in Fraterna 15(4):1 (2002) by R. D. Kloppenburg. Hoya buotii originates from the Philippines. Hoya buotii is definately one of my favourites. I love the big, yellow and hairy flowers. The scent is somewhat like vanilla. The leaves are thin, so I never let this one dry completely between waterings. I have my plant placed in a southern window and I shade it in summer so it doesn't get burned. The first time it flowered was in November. Unfortunately I forgot to water it so the flowers dried and dropped too early. |
