Hoya rotundiflora

Hoya rotundiflora is native to Thailand and stands out with its uncommon square-edged foliage and delicate, velvety white blooms. This epiphytic species thrives in humid forest margins and offers collectors both visual intrigue and manageable growth.

Distinctive Features

• Foliage Form: Unusual boxy, flat-edged leaves give it a geometric, almost succulent appearance.
• Floral Display: Compact umbels of fuzzy, white flowers with pink-purple coronas appear in bursts through the warmer months.
• Growth Habit: A slow-growing trailing or climbing vine, ideal for hanging baskets or trained onto supports.

Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh afternoon sun which may scorch the foliage.
• Water: Allow the mix to dry partially between waterings; water more frequently during active growth.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity; ideal for indoor spaces with regular misting or pebble trays.
• Media: Requires a well-draining, airy mix – use orchid bark, perlite, and a small portion of coco peat or coir.
• Temperature: Thrives between 18–28°C; protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C.
• Fertiliser: Feed fortnightly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser; reduce in autumn and winter.
• Repotting: Best repotted every 2–3 years or when visibly root-bound; avoid oversized pots.
