Hoya lucardenasiana is a rare non-twining vine native to Luzon in the Philippines. It forms compact hanging baskets with thick, glossy ovate leaves that often display a reddish blush when young. It's a collector-favorite, cherished for both aesthetic foliage and unique florals.
🌸 Flowers
Blooms in tight umbels of deep maroon to purple-red star-shaped flowers, each about 7–10 mm across.
Flowers secrete glossy nectar immediately upon opening, and the petals exhibit a velvety texture.
The sweet, butterscotch-like fragrance lasts around five days, offering a warm sensory note.
Flowers generally rebloom from existing stems if paired with retained peduncles.
While challenging at first, mature specimens bloom reliably—patience and light root dryness are key.
🌞 Care Guide
| Requirement | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright, indirect light; avoid intense sun to prevent foliage scorch. |
| Watering | Water only when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry; prefers lightly dry periods early. |
| Soil | Use an airy, well-draining mix (orchid bark, perlite, coco coir). |
| Humidity | Prefers 50–70% humidity, but tolerates average indoor conditions. |
| Temperature | Ideal range: 16–28 °C (60–82 °F). Keep away from cold drafts. |
| Bloom Care | Keep old peduncles intact—flowers often return on the same stems. |
