Hoya manipurensis
release_alert Low Stock - 2 available
Hoya manipurensis is native to the northeastern state of Manipur in India, where it grows epiphytically in humid forests. It stands out for its upright, shrubby growth and open, spreading flowers with pale green to cream tones. Unlike many vining hoyas, this species maintains a bushier form with stiff, vertical stems.
Distinctive Features
- Growth Habit: Naturally shrubby and erect, forming upright stems rather than trailing vines.
- Flowers: Pale yellowish-green to cream blooms with strongly reflexed lobes, typically appearing in umbels.
- Foliage: Narrow-elliptical leaves with a subtle sheen, not prominently veined, and moderately succulent.
Care Tips
- Light: Bright filtered light is best; avoid intense midday sun which may scorch the foliage.
- Water: Moderate watering; allow the mix to almost dry between watering. Slightly more during active growth.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, especially when actively growing or in bud.
- Media: Use a fast-draining mix with orchid bark, perlite, and some organic matter to retain light moisture.
- Temperature: Thrives between 16–28 °C. Protect from cold snaps below 10 °C.
- Fertiliser: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during spring and summer. Avoid high nitrogen.
- Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a container with ample drainage.
Additional Notes
- Blooms tend to appear in warmer months and may increase in frequency as the plant matures.
- Best grown staked or in a support pot to maintain its upright form and prevent toppling.
