Hoya Manipurensis is an intriguing and unusual epiphytic climber native to the Himalayan foothills of Northeast India and Myanmar. It features thick, slightly fuzzy triangular to obovate leaves that grow along slender vines. Its compact size and charming foliage make it a striking addition to shelves, hanging planters, or mounted displays. Although its growth is exceptionally slow, its distinctive form and rare blooms make it a coveted specimen.
🌸 Flower Details
Occasional blooms with small umbels of star-shaped, waxy flowers in rosy to amber tones, around 6–8 mm wide.
Flowers often carry a pleasant, subtle fragrance, sometimes described as spicy or sweet.
Typically bloom modestly (5–15 blooms per cluster) and may rebloom on the same peduncle with maturity.
Flowers appear slowly and irregularly—flowering is considered a rare achievement for mature specimens.
🌞 Care Instructions
| Care Aspect | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright, indirect light with gentle morning or evening sun; avoid harsh midday exposure. |
| Water | Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil dries out. Keep moist but never waterlogged. |
| Soil | Use a chunky, airy potting mix like orchid bark + perlite + coco coir to mimic natural epiphytic habitat. |
| Humidity | Prefers moderate to high humidity (~60–80%). Misting or tray humidifiers help. |
