Hoya sp. Maluku Islands (IPPS3749)

 

It took some years before I got my Hoya sp. Maluku Islands (IPPS3749) in bloom. This plant has always been placed on a shelf with fluorescent light. Maybe it would have prefered being placed in a window with natural light?

Hoya sp. Maluku Islands (IPPS3749) isn't the best climber so it will need some help around if you grow it supported by a trellis. New growth is red tinted. It tolerates drought and is easy to grow.
