Hoya Obscura 6143

🦊 Hoya obscura is a graceful vining epiphyte from the Philippines, admired for its almond-shaped leaves that blush from green to bronze-red under bright light. Fine, pale venation creates a luminous contrast across each leaf, and its trailing habit makes it ideal for shelves or hanging planters. Easy to grow yet visually striking, it brings a soft tropical charm to any indoor space.
FLOWER DETAILS
Delicate clusters of starry, slightly fuzzy blooms in blush pink to salmon tones appear from mature spurs. Each umbel releases a sweet, honey-like scent during warm evenings, often reblooming several times a year in strong light.
