Hoya pubicalyx

An epiphytic vining species from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia with elliptic, semi-succulent leaves and slender, arching stems that climb or trail readily along any support. It produces umbel-shaped flower clusters on persistent peduncles that emerge from mature stems.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the fleshy leaves.
• Temperature: 60–82°F (16–28°C); thrives as a warm to intermediate grower with stable, frost-free conditions.
• Humidity: 50–70%; moderate to high humidity supports vigorous stem extension and healthy leaf development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the substrate to dry out significantly between waterings; avoid waterlogging, which causes root rot.
• Growth Habit: Twining epiphytic vine with elliptic, semi-succulent leaves on slender, arching stems. Develops persistent peduncles on mature growth — never remove them, as they rebloom season after season.

Additional Notes
