Hoya Caudata Sumatra 6151

🦊 Hoya caudata ‘Sumatra’ is an exotic and highly sought-after species from the humid forests of Sumatra, Indonesia. It’s prized for its elongated, textured leaves — deep green to maroon in tone, scattered with fine silvery flecks and sometimes bordered in soft red. The leaf surface feels leathery and slightly rough, giving the plant a rugged, wild beauty that captures the essence of tropical rainforests. Its vining habit makes it perfect for trellises or hanging baskets where the foliage can fully display.
FLOWER DETAILS
When mature, Hoya caudata ‘Sumatra’ produces clusters of fuzzy, star-shaped flowers in cream and soft pink, with darker pink coronas. The blooms release a rich, sweet fragrance that intensifies at night. Each umbel contains dozens of delicate flowers, and they often appear on older vines once the plant is well established.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates some early morning or late afternoon sun for stronger leaf color.
💧 Water: Allow 60–70% of the mix to dry between watering; slightly drier than most Hoyas.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 60–80% humidity; stable warmth and airflow prevent leaf spotting.
🪴 Soil: Use a chunky, fast-draining mix (orchid bark, perlite, coco husk, and a touch of sphagnum moss).
🏺 Potting: Provide a trellis or mount; avoid oversize pots. Repot every 2–3 years to refresh the mix.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate to slow; develops stronger leaves and more silver flecking under bright light.
🐾 Pet friendly: Non-toxic, though best kept out of reach of pets.
