Hoya obscura is a compact, trailing species prized for its thick, glossy green leaves that may take on bronze or reddish hues under strong indirect light. Its tidy growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, mounted displays, or shelf arrangements.
🌸 Flowers
Blooms in tight umbels of tiny star-shaped flowers, approximately 5–7 mm across.
Each bloom has creamy-white petals with a contrasting deep red corona, forming clusters of 20–30 fragrant blossoms.
Flowers emit a sweet scent, especially noticeable during the evening.
Mature plants often rebloom from existing peduncles — leave spent flower stems intact for repeat flowering cycles.
🌞 Care Guide
| Requirement | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or evening sun enhances leaf tone and supports bloom. |
| Watering | Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Avoid keeping the mix too wet. |
| Soil | Use a chunky, well-draining medium (orchid bark, perlite, coco coir). |
| Humidity | Prefers 50–70% humidity, though it adapts well to typical indoor levels. |
| Temperature | Ideal range: 16–28 °C (60–82 °F). Protect from cold drafts. |
| Bloom Care | Retain old flower spikes (peduncles) to encourage repeat blooming on mature vines. |
