Hoya Erythrostemma 6170

🦊 Hoya erythrostemma is a vigorous tropical climber native to Southeast Asia, admired for its broad, glossy leaves and richly colored blooms. The foliage ranges from deep emerald to slightly bronze-tinted under bright light, with a firm, leathery texture that makes it both durable and decorative. Its vines can grow long and full, perfect for trellises or hanging planters, bringing a lush jungle feeling into any bright indoor space.
FLOWER DETAILS
This species produces dense umbels of star-shaped flowers in creamy white to pale pink, accented by striking red coronas that give it its name (“erythro” meaning red). Each cluster can hold dozens of blooms, releasing a sweet, honeyed fragrance at night. Under stable warmth and bright light, mature plants can flower multiple times a year.
