The deep green leaves of this twining climber can grow up to 10cm in length, and they usually have an irregular smattering of silvery splotches. Although they are not sent out in bloom, in time domed clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers may form on the stems.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.
How to care for Hoya pubicalyx:
Throughout the summer you should always keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In the colder months water less often, just giving it a good drink when the soil gets reasonably dry. Mist the leaves with water, especially if they are growing near central heating, and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser at monthly intervals while the plant is actively growing. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter.
