Hoya sp. bintulu (WA Prohibited)
release_alert Low Stock - 2 available
Hoya sp. bintulu is a warm–intermediate species collected from the Bintulu region and grown in cultivation under its provisional name. It produces slender vining stems with medium-sized, slightly pointed leaves that show fine veining and occasional speckling. When mature, this species forms clusters of small star-shaped flowers typical of the genus, making it an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy more unusual, locality-type Hoyas. It responds well to the care routines described in How to Water Hoyas and Grow Hoyas Faster & Get More Flowers.
