Hoya lacunosa 'Snow Caps'

cultivar

Hoya lacunosa 'Snow Caps' is a cultivar form of Hoya lacunosa. I do not know where it originates from and I am uncertain if the name is valid. I have not been able to find any registration or publication of this cultivar.

Hoya lacunosa 'Snow Caps' is definitely well worth growing. Most of the leaves are almost completely covered with silver  speckles you just can not resist it! The flowers are the same as on any other Hoya lacunosa. The growth habit is also the same, but this cultivar might be slightly slower in growth.
