Hoya Pubicalyx ‘Red Button’ 6182
🍃 Overview
Hoya Pubicalyx ‘Red Button’ is a vibrant and fast-growing epiphytic vine prized for its glossy, slightly speckled leaves that sometimes blush reddish when exposed to bright light. Its compact, trailing habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. A visually striking addition to any plant collection.
🌸 Flowers
Dense umbels of deep burgundy to nearly black, waxy star-shaped blooms, each about 1–2 cm across with a contrasting red or crimson center.
Clusters can contain 30–40 blossoms, offering an impressive floral display.
Flowers have a strong, sweet fragrance, often lasting up to two weeks.
Mature plants rebloom from existing flower stems—avoid removing old peduncles to encourage repeat flowering. unsolicitedplanttalks.com+15weslorflowers.com+15gardensonline.com.au+15hoyastoreaustralia.com.au+4weslorflowers.com+4mybageecha.com+4
