Hoya heuschkeliana 'Variegata' is a small-leaved epiphytic species from the Philippines, admired for its creamy-white and green variegated foliage and urn-shaped, waxy flowers in shades of soft peach to rose-pink. This cultivar is a mutation of the green form, retaining the same charming blooms but with the added attraction of ornamental foliage.

Distinctive Features

  • Foliage: Smooth, ovate leaves with bright creamy-yellow margins and apple-green centres; highly ornamental even when not in bloom.
  • Flowers: Small, tubular to urn-shaped blooms appear in tight umbels, flushed with peach to deep rose tones and mildly fragrant.
  • Growth Habit: Compact and trailing, often cascading over the edge of a pot or basket; suitable for small spaces or hanging displays.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun on variegated leaves as it may scorch or bleach them.
  • Water: Water moderately during active growth; allow to dry between watering. Reduce frequency in cooler months.
  • Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity. Occasional misting is beneficial indoors.
  • Media: Use a free-draining, chunky epiphytic mix—ideally incorporating orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat.
  • Temperature: Thrives between 18–28 °C; protect from chills below 12 °C.
  • Fertiliser: Apply diluted balanced liquid fertiliser every 3–4 weeks during spring and summer.
  • Repotting: Repot only when root-bound, typically every 2–3 years; prefers a slightly snug pot.

Additional Notes

  • This form is slightly slower growing than the green counterpart due to reduced chlorophyll in its leaves.
  • Flowering is often encouraged by consistent warmth, humidity, and bright light.
