<i>Hoya phuwuaensis</i> – Clustering Vines with Speckled Leaves and Pale Pink Flowers

Hoya phuwuaensis is native to the Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary in northeastern Thailand and is known for its neat, clustering growth habit and attractively mottled foliage. As a member of the Apocynaceae family, it thrives in humid tropical forest conditions where it scrambles epiphytically along tree trunks and understory branches.

Distinctive Features

  • Foliage: Rounded to ovate leaves with a firm, leathery texture and subtle silver flecking across the surface.
  • Flowers: Pale pink to nearly white flowers with a soft fragrance, arranged in compact umbels; each bloom features a prominent corona.
  • Habit: Compact and scrambling, this species tends to form dense clusters rather than long trailing vines, making it ideal for small spaces or hanging pots.

Care Tips

  • Light: Thrives in bright, filtered light; avoid prolonged direct sun which may scorch leaves.
  • Water: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the top layer of substrate to dry out between waterings; reduce in winter.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; benefits from regular misting or use of a humidity tray indoors.
  • Media: Requires a well-draining, airy mix – ideal blends include orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir.
  • Temperature: Grows best between 18–28 °C; avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10 °C.
  • Fertiliser: Apply a balanced, diluted fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during active growth; reduce or cease feeding in cooler months.
  • Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound, preferably in early spring before new growth begins.

Additional Notes

  • Blooms are more likely when the plant is root-bound and exposed to stable warmth and bright light; patience may be required before flowering commences.
  • Its compact growth and manageable size make it a great candidate for terrariums or limited indoor spaces.
