Hoya Meredithi 6397

Hoya Meredithii 🌿 — Scientific name: Hoya meredithii (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae). A striking Southeast Asian species (noted in the Philippines and surrounding islands), it is renowned for its large, thick, ovate leaves with dramatic, deeply etched venation that reads like green leather. Vines are sturdy yet graceful, and mature foliage can become impressively broad, giving a bold, architectural look ideal for statement displays.
FLOWER DETAILS
Produces rounded umbels of starry, waxy blooms: the corolla ranges from pale green to creamy yellow, often slightly reflexed, with a contrasting pink to maroon crown and a sweet fragrance. On established vines, peduncles rebloom in warm seasons, with clusters opening in succession for extended interest.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; a touch of soft morning sun encourages strong leaves and flowering.
💧 Water: Allow the top 40–50% of the mix to dry; water thoroughly, then drain. Go lighter in cool, low-light periods.
🌡️ Humidity: 55–75% preferred; stable humidity supports large, unblemished foliage.
🪴 Soil: Very airy, fast-draining epiphytic mix (orchid bark, chunky perlite, coco chips, plus a small organic fraction).
🏺 Potting: Snug pot with excellent drainage; refresh medium every 1–2 years and avoid overpotting heavy leaves.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate; leaves size up with consistent light, warmth, and support.
🐾 Pet friendly: Generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs; discourage chewing.
