Published in Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information 462 (1939) by A. F. Kerr. Hoya pachyclada originates from Thailand. The name pachyclada means thick branch. Hoya pachyclada is an easy hoya to grow. It's a
succulent hoya which prefers to be kept on the dry side, so this species can be
grown in full sunlight. The leaves are almost round and slightly pubescent. The
leaf colour is light green and if grown in sunlight the leaf margins turn red.

Hoya pachyclada isn't a good climber so it will need some help around if grown supported on a trellis. Its growth is very compact and since it is so succulent the plant gets very heavy. I prefer to have my plant in a hanging basket. It isn't the fastest grower but will in time take a lot of space. Hoya pachyclada flowers readily, often already as a cutting. The flowers have a nice, fresh scent which reminds of citrus. |
