Hoya archboldiana 'albomarginata'

A rare variegated form of a species native to the tropical forests of the Pacific, featuring small, heart-shaped leaves with a bright green center and a creamy white margin. It grows as a vining epiphyte with a delicate, trailing habit and produces tight umbels of star-shaped flowers with a contrasting pink-red corona.

• Light: Bright indirect light; a few hours of gentle morning sun are beneficial. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the variegated leaf margins.
• Temperature: 60–86°F (16–30°C); a warm tropical grower that prefers stable warmth and dislikes temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 50–70%; moderate to high humidity supports healthy growth and flowering, though this Hoya tolerates average indoor conditions well.
• Watering: Allow the mix to dry out moderately between waterings; Hoyas are susceptible to root rot if kept consistently wet. Never let roots sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining mix of orchid bark, perlite, and a small amount of potting soil. Do not remove old peduncles after flowering, as new blooms emerge from the same spurs. Shipped as a well-rooted cutting or established plant; plant promptly upon arrival in a breathable, fast-draining mix.
