Hoya Obscura albomarginata 6409

Hoya obscura ‘Albomarginata’ 🌿 is a beautiful variegated form of Hoya obscura, known for its luminous green leaves edged with creamy white margins. Native to the Philippines, this hoya develops warm blush tones—pink to red—on the leaves when grown in bright light, creating a soft gradient effect against the variegation. Its foliage is slightly elongated, firm, and gently veined, giving it a refined, glowing appearance that stands out in any collection.
FLOWER DETAILS
This variety produces classic obscura-type blooms: soft pink to peach star-shaped flowers with deeper centers, forming tight, fragrant umbels. The blooms have a sweet honey-like scent and appear readily in warm seasons when the plant receives strong light.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun to enhance the blush and keep variegation crisp.
💧 Water: Allow 40–60% of the mix to dry; avoid leaving the soil soggy.
🌡️ Humidity: Moderate to high humidity encourages faster and fuller growth.
🪴 Soil: Very airy hoya mix—fine bark, perlite, coco chips, and light organic content.
🏺 Potting: Likes to stay slightly root-bound; provide a small trellis if you prefer upright growth.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate to fast; responds strongly to warmth and bright light.
🐾 Pet friendly: Considered non-toxic but best kept away from pets who chew plants.
