Hoya Fitchii 6191
🏞️ Natural Origin
Native to the Philippines, this rare and highly coveted Hoya species is named after photographer Charles Marsden Fitch.
🌸 Flowers
Blooms form in dense umbels of 10–25 star-shaped flowers, each about 10 mm wide.
Petals display a stunning palette of coppery orange to coral-pink, with vibrant, waxy corona centers.
Flowers may appear throughout the year, often first blooming about 12–16 months after propagation.
🍃 Foliage & Habit
Leaves are light green with distinctive web-like venation, typically around 6 × 3 cm.
Trailing habit and slow growth make it a great candidate for hanging pots or small trellises.
Even without blooms, the striking foliage makes this Hoya a collector's gem.
🌞 Care Tips
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh midday sun. |
| Water | Let soil dry almost completely between waterings. Water about once every 10–14 days depending on pot size and humidity. |
| Soil | Use a well-draining, chunky mix with orchid bark, perlite, and light organic matter. |
| Humidity | Prefers high humidity, ideally 60–80%. |
| Temperature | Thrives in 15–29 °C (60–85 °F). Not frost-tolerant. |
| Growth | Slow-growing. Blooms on old peduncles, so don’t remove flower stalks. |
