Hoya sp. Haruku (IPPS3759)

 

This Hoya is often labeled "Haraku", but that is a misspelling. It is also often claimed that it originates from Thailand, but I have not been able to find a place called Haruku (or Haraku) there. There is however a place called Haruku in Indonesia so I guess this Hoya was collected there. The IPPS number indicates that it comes from Ruurd van Donkelaar's Hoya collection.

Hoya sp. Haruku (IPPS3759) is easy to grow. It does not require a lot and it tolerates drought. It often blooms with a lot of clusters at the same time so the scent of caramel really fills
