Hoya callistophylla

This unusual Hoya is one for collectors. Bright green lanceolate leaves develop deep green and somewhat irregular venation and margins. Unlike other species, Hoya callistophylla foliage can grow rather large. The fragrant blooms, which emerge in spring or summer, develop hues of purple and orange.

Watering

Water when 80% of the soil is dry.

Light requirements

Bright but not direct.

Feed

Use a houseplant fertiliser once a month from April - October.
