release_alert Low Stock - 2 available
Hoya archboldiana is native to the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea and is admired for its commanding presence and extravagant floral display. This species is particularly known for its bold, bell-shaped flowers and rapid vegetative growth under warm, humid conditions.
Distinctive Features
- Striking flowers: Produces large, tubular blooms in shades of deep pink to red with a pale central corona, often borne in small umbels.
- Glossy foliage: Thick, leathery leaves with a rich green sheen add ornamental appeal even when not in bloom.
- Robust vining habit: A vigorous grower that benefits from support structures or hanging placement for trailing growth.
Care Tips
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some morning sun; avoid harsh midday exposure.
- Water: Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry; reduce frequency in winter but avoid complete dryness.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; benefits from misting or a humidifier in drier climates.
- Media: Requires a very well-draining mix—combine orchid bark, perlite, and coarse peat or coco coir.
- Temperature: Enjoys warm conditions between 18–30°C; sensitive to prolonged cold below 10°C.
- Fertiliser: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound; use a shallow pot with excellent drainage.
Additional Notes
- Flowering is more reliable with age and consistent warmth; older vines often bloom more readily.
- As with many Hoyas, sap may be sticky—wash hands after handling blooms or pruning stems.
