Hoya lacunosa IML 1039 was collected in Bogor, Java, Indonesia. It is a very nice clone of Hoya lacunosa. The leaf petioles are very long, 3 cm, which makes the leaves hang down in a nice way. Compared to this one other lacunosas can look sprawling as the leaves grow in many directions.

I bought my cutting from David Liddle (IML 1039) in july 2006 and now, a year after, it has become a quite large plant. So, it is a fast grower and it also flowers

readily. You can put it in almost any window and it will thrive there. Just make sure it is not exposed to full sun if placed in south.

This is a hoya best suited for the hanging basket although it has climbing abilities. A few cuttings in the basket makes a nice looking plant. It tolerates drought, but is growing and flowering much better if it does not dry completely between waterings.
